Biography

Dizzy VC, the Nigerian born yet UK- adorned star, is working his way throughout Africa and the United Kingdom, from his native Afro-Beat and grime inspired sound. His music reflects the moving and growing of afro beats to other genres such as Bashment and Hip Hop. His debut song Ashawo, released in 2014 became a club hit across the UK and Europe. He later released a remix with Afro-beats sensation Phyno. He has been in the studio with Maleek Berry, Paigey Cakey and Wande Coal to name a few. Dizzy grew up in Lagos, Nigeria with his two Christian parents and four siblings. He spent most of his childhood playing sports, mostly athletics and anything he found to be competitive. “I grew up blessed, I am very thankful we how we lived and there was always love in the house.” But Dizzy was truly inspired by what he saw on the internet and the rise of young MCs in the UK and America. “Youtube was starting to grow and all I did was watch my idols perform,” he recalls with a smile, an instrumental example of the inspiration behind his sound. He would soon discover the rising grime phenomenon that was happening across the world. As a child, Dizzy (his given name is Chiedoziem Onyeokoro) listened the music of Bob Marley and later Nigerian Afro-beat masters 2face / sound sultan and global star Wyclef Jean and Chipmunk.
