Íkaro Valderrama Ortiz (born July 17, 1984 in Sogamoso) is a Colombian singer, writer, composer and multi-instrumentalist. His musical and literary work has influences from Siberia, India and Latin America. He defines himself as a kind of Modern Nomad, open to explore different geographies, traditions and rhythms. Therefore, his art is an intersection of multiple influences and experiences. Since 2009 he has been living in a transit between many countries of Latin America and Siberia, assimilating the cultural heritage and developing a unique style of music. Íkaro has studied different kinds and techniques of singing, and he plays a wide range of musical instruments from different countries.

As a writer, his anthology of short stories and short shorts Cuentos de minicuentos undoubtedly establishes him as a master of the genre in recent Colombian literature.
