MC Fizzy (born Dean Blair) is a South London-based musician, producer and community advocate whose career spans UK garage, grime, hip-hop and Afrobeat.

Beyond his commercial success, MC Fizzy has long believed in the power of music as a tool for emotional expression, community connection and social change. Through his work, he has engaged young people, schools and community groups — using creative expression, songwriting and performance to support wellbeing and build confidence. For example, he was involved in a project during the 2012 Olympic period that engaged London children and communities through music and partnership with organisations such as Santander and the Spark Award Project.
