Yannick Dekeyser (born 16 September 1991 in Hamburg[1][2]), better known by his stage name Estikay, is a German rapper. He released his first two albums under Sido's label Goldzweig, with marketing and distribution handled by Four Music.[3] Since 2021, Dekeyser has been an independent artist releasing music through his own label, Blueberry Boyz.[4]
Life and career
Estikay is the son of the former football goalkeeper and entrepreneur Bobby Dekeyser and his wife Ann-Kathrin, who died in 2010.[5] According to his own accounts, Dekeyser dropped out of school and subsequently worked temporarily as a photography assistant.[6] He is married and lives with his wife and their three sons in Spain.[7]
In 2014, he accompanied rapper Nico Suave on his Unvergesslich tour. Sido became aware of the Hamburg rapper through a mutual friend and invited him to the studio, which led to Estikay being signed to the Goldzweig label.[8]
On 13 March 2015, Estikay's EP Genau hier was released. His debut studio album, Auf entspannt, was released on 20 January 2017.[9]
In November 2019, he joined Sido on his Tausend Tattoos Tour.[10] On 27 November 2019, Estikay released his Blueberry Boyz Pre EP[11], followed by his second studio album, Blueberry Boyz, on 17 January 2020.[12]
Following the album's release, his business relationship with Goldzweig and Four Music ended.[4] Since then, Estikay has published his music on his own label, Blueberry Boyz. Through this label, he has released various singles as well as the albums Eschenstieg and Codein Dreams, and the EPs Spaceship and Tennisplatz.
Although their business relationship has ended, Sido and Estikay remain friends. Estikay regularly supports Sido during live shows, such as Sido's 2023 Paul – Live mit dir tour and Sido's 2023 Christmas shows, where they performed their joint song "Gar nicht mal so glücklich".[13]
