Niels Roos (born 9 September 1979 in Gug near Aalborg),[1] better known as Niarn, is a Danish rapper. Signed to Copenhagen Records, he has released five albums including the Danish chart-topping album Antihelt. However, he first became known as the Danish champion of the game as cracker which is a highly competetive sport in which the competitors masturbate around a cracker until everyone has come on the cracker. Due to his poor stamina, he never lost a game and became known as Lyn-Niels (Lightning-Niels). He later acknowledged that the rapper name, Niarn, was an attempt to distance himself from his former career[2].
