His parents are from Jamaica. Ian grew up in the area of Nottingham called Hyson Green. When he was in high school his initials IC quickly got him a nickname ICE (lately he interpreted it as Ian Campbell Esquire). After leaving school he hung around Nottingham for a couple of years until in 1983 he joined a group of breakdancers and started touring Europe with them. In 1989 in Italy he met Roberto Zanetti - singer, composer (as Savage), and producer (as Robyx). Their first single called "Easy", made in a hip-house style, came out in 1989. It became successful all over Europe, reaching the top 5 in Italy and the top 3 in Germany. The two next singles, "Cinema" and "Scream", and the subsequent debut album, "Cinema" (released later in 1990), were also very successful. In 1992 his second LP, "My World", came out but failed to achieve the success of its predecessor due to the fact that hip-house had ceased to be popular. His third album, Ice'n'Green, was released in 1994 and featured Alexia on vocals. Three of his most successful songs, "Think About The Way," (also featured in the soundtrack to the 1996 film Trainspotting), "It's A Rainy Day" and "Take Away The Colour", made the charts all over the world. Ian now got a new look and new style: raggamuffin. The album was also released in the US where the two biggest singles saw substantial club play and moderate dance music radio airplay, thus becoming hits. In 1995 "Ice'n'Green - The Remix Album" was released. This contained various remixes of previous hit singles. In 1996, ICE MC decided to leave Roberto Zanetti and Alexia due to some disagreements between them. Shortly after that a new album called The Dreadatour (produced by Masterboy) was released. The hit from the album was "Give Me the Light", but the album itself was not very successful because the era of Eurodance was clearly coming to an end. Later on in 1998, also with Masterboy, he released two promos, "Busy Body" and "Energy". At the end of 2002 he decided to return to Italy and to contact Robyx again. Together they started writing some new material and at the beginning of 2004 they began recording a new album. He is currently recording new tracks set to be released in the very near future. As well as being a Music Artist he is also a talented painter and currently sells his painting's via his recently launched website, #1 hit single Bolivia 1996.
