Malte Fynboe Manniche Ebert (born 26 June 1994{{Cite web | url=https://music.apple.com/gr/artist/malte-ebert/1392850962 | title=Malte Ebert | website=music.apple.com | access-date=2022-01-04}}), better known by his former nickname Gulddreng, is a Danish musician. His identity was unknown until the father of his host family from an exchange trip announced his name on Facebook.{{cite web|url=http://www.mx.dk/underholdning/musik/story/17937469|title=Mystik om Gulddreng: Kom gammel ven lige til at afsløre hans identitet?|publisher=|work=MetroXpress|last1=Nygaard|first1=Kristian Dam|last2=Ambrosius|first2=Thomas|access-date=2016-08-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161204034851/http://www.mx.dk/underholdning/musik/story/17937469|archive-date=2016-12-04|url-status=dead}} His name translates to "gold boy" or "golden boy" in English. As Gulddreng, Ebert was known for always wearing sunglasses, which helped to obscure his identity. His first seven singles, "Model", "Se mig nu", "Hva' så", "Drikker for lidt", "Nemt", "Guld jul" and "Ked af det", all peaked at number 1 in Denmark, with "Se mig nu", "Drikker for lidt", "Guld jul", and "Ked af det" debuting at the top spot.
On 7 September 2016 Ebert as Gulddreng also released his own official app on the App Store.{{cite web|url=http://www.mx.dk/underholdning/kendte/story/13363800|title=Gulddreng laver sjov foto-app: 'Nummer et på Spotify er ikke nok'|publisher=|work=MetroXpress|last1=Nygaard|first1=Kristian Dam|access-date=2016-09-22|archive-date=2016-09-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160912124438/http://www.mx.dk/underholdning/kendte/story/13363800|url-status=dead}} The app was developed by Thorwest Development.
In September 2017, Ebert stopped using the nickname Gulddreng and began using his real name, Malte Ebert.{{cite web |url=https://www.bt.dk/musik/gulddreng-er-faerdig-nu-afsloerer-malte-ebert-hvordan-han-snoed-hele-danmark |title=Gulddreng er færdig: Nu afslører Malte Ebert hvordan han snød hele Danmark |website= BT Musik |last=Nygaard |first=Kristian Dam |date=22 September 2017 |accessdate=27 June 2018}} He said he created the nickname as a "reaction to bad pop music". In June 2018, he released "Rather Be", his first single as Malte Ebert. In May 2019, he played his first concert in Vega. In 2019, he also went to Los Angeles to make songs with more international sound.{{cite web |url=https://www.euroman.dk/kultur/malte-ebert-gulddreng-koebte-mig-et-bedre-studie-og-en-bedre-kontrakt |title=Malte Ebert: "Gulddreng købte mig et bedre studie og en bedre kontrakt" |work=Euroman |last=Christensen |first=Peter Nicolai Gudme |date=26 June 2018 |accessdate=27 June 2018}}
