Kristian Humaidan (born in Denmark in 1981) better known by his stage name UFO, is a Danish, singer, rapper and hip hop artist. He was part of the rap duo UFO & Yepha before splitting-up and going solo. With the split, UFO is noticeably branching into Danish music rather than hip hop as in the days with Yepha.

Kristian Humaidan (known as UFO) won the freestyle championship MC's Fight Night in 2002. Soon he started collaborating as a duo with Jeppe Bruun Wahlstrøm (known as Yepha, born 1983)[1] through Svendborg, and later from Aarhus. They were also known as Whyyou (taking lead from first letters of their names). They had a good number of chart successes before they split-up as a duo in 2011.

They had three albums charting on the official Danish Albums Chart as follows:

  • U vs. Y (2003 - reached #28)
  • Ingen som os (2006 - reached #20)
  • Kig mig i øjnene (2008 - rewached #32)

They released many singles as UFO and Yepha including charting singles:

  • "Hver dag" (2003, reached #1)
  • "Næh næh" (Ufo Yepha feat. Anna David) (2008 - reached #20)
