BABY D
Baby D's early singles between 1991 and 1994 were huge underground hits but were not known to mainstream pop although two of them scraped the lower end of the top 75. “Let Me Be Your Fantasy” was the exception, having been released on the legendary “Production House” label in 1992 it continued to be a steady seller hanging around the bottom half of the unpublished Top 200 for two years and clocking up sales of 40,000. London Records then signed the track in 1994 and on re-release entered the charts at number 3 and then spent two weeks at number 1 selling nearly half a million copies.
In the summer of 1995 Baby D reached number 3 with their version of the Korgis' “Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime” re-titled “I Need Your Lovin”. This was followed by “So Pure” which also reached number 3. Other hits followed including a top 5 album “Deliverance”
Baby D has the honour of being the recipient of the first ever MOBO award also winner of International Dance Award and others.
As well as a great love of music and performing live, Baby D adores her fans who were there at the start and the newer ones that grew up to the music. “Let Me Be Your Fantasy” remains an all-time favourite dance anthem.
Don’t miss out—join the movement, feel the music, and rave for freedom this June 26th-29th at Gaunts House Estate, Dorset.
DJ I AM I AM
I had an incredible time playing at our 2024 festival and loved kicking off the vibes with a morning mix at Hope Sussex. Now, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be back for the 2025 Freedom Festival of the Year—and this time, it’s going to be even more epic!
For 2025, I’ll be bringing an earlier set packed with AfroBeats, drawing deep inspiration from legends like Black Coffee, and blending it with the captivating energy of Melodic House, Tech House, and Progressive House—a nod to the iconic vibes of Anjunabeats.
I’ve got some exciting surprises in store to make this set unforgettable, including special guest appearances! I can’t wait to step onto that stage and share this musical journey with all of you.
Let’s make it one to remember—see you in the field of Freedom!
