Jordano Ice Bio

ABOUT JORDANO ICE

 

Jordano Ice, born DJAMBONG Ngampa Willy Jordan, is a Cameroonian artist, music producer, publisher, cinematic travel creator, model, actor, author, and entrepreneur based between Africa and Asia.

His story did not begin with perfect conditions. It began with risk, sacrifice, movement, and the decision to keep creating even when the path was not easy. From Cameroon to India, Jordano Ice has built his name through music, storytelling, culture, fashion, film, and business  turning real-life experiences into art that people can feel.

A Bachelor’s degree holder in Science, Jordano Ice brings both discipline and creativity into his work. His sound is rooted in Afro-Bami, a musical direction he created by blending Bamileke melodies, Afrobeat rhythms, African soul, and modern global energy. As an independent artist and producer, he is involved not only in performing music, but also in shaping the sound, message, and identity behind his work.

His music speaks from real places: betrayal, ambition, faith, struggle, family pressure, African identity, survival, and the courage to keep moving when life tests you. His upcoming single “Trust Nobody,” from the album Afrobami, was recorded in Cameroon after five years of living in India. The song reflects the pain of seeing good people treated wrongly, the sacrifices he made for his career, and the strength it takes to choose a clean path while still chasing greatness.

Beyond music, Jordano Ice is also a cinematic YouTube creator documenting travel, culture, and human connection across India, Thailand, Cameroon, and beyond. His videos show the world through the eyes of an African creator abroad  not just showing places, but capturing the feeling, the people, the culture, and the story behind every journey.

His creative career also extends into modeling and acting, with experience connected to brands such as AJIO, Puma, Max Fashion, Poco, Redmi, Sandisk, and Xiaomi, along with features in Vogue Italia, Selin Magazine, Éclair Magazine, and Mob Journal. He has also appeared in Indian film productions, including Fukrey 3.

As the founder of DAMPA UNION, Jordano Ice continues to build platforms that connect people through education, travel, language learning, health tourism, international business, and creative publishing. DAMPA UNION also supports his wider vision as a publisher and entrepreneur  creating opportunities across borders while representing African talent on a global stage.

Jordano Ice is not just building a music career. He is building a world around his story: one shaped by Cameroon, inspired by Asia, driven by independence, and powered by the belief that pain, culture, and sacrifice can become something powerful.

I Slept in a Tent on a Hidden Thai Island | My Koh Larn Travel Adventure 🇹🇭

by jordano ice

Have you ever gone on a trip where things didn’t go as planned but ended up becoming one of the best memories of your life?

That’s exactly what happened on my recent adventure to Koh Larn Island in Thailand — and I captured it all in my latest YouTube video.

🌊 From Bangkok to Paradise

The journey started at Ekkamai Bus Terminal in Bangkok. I hopped on a bus heading to Pattaya, then made my way to the port. There, I had two options to reach Koh Larn:

A slow boat for 30 baht (about 1 hour and 20 minutes)

Or a fast boat for 160 baht

Of course, I chose the fast boat — and let me tell you, it was fast, scary, but insanely exciting. A total adrenaline rush!

🏝️ First Glimpse of Koh Larn

Arriving at Koh Larn Island was like stepping into a dream. Crystal-clear blue waters, white sandy beaches, and a peaceful vibe that felt like a complete escape from the city.

But here’s the twist:
We couldn’t find a place to stay.

So, we got on a bike and started exploring the island — searching, asking, hoping to find a hotel.

⛺️ A Night I’ll Never Forget: Camping on the Beach

Just when we were about to give up, we found something magical — a hidden beach campsite surrounded by trees with an open view of the ocean. It had a forest vibe, a relaxing energy, and for the first time in my life…

I slept in a tent on the beach.

It was one of the most peaceful and beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. No walls, no distractions — just nature, waves, and stars.
