Dizzy Dee aka Desire Sibanda originally from Zimbabwe started music more than half a decade ago working with his local Triangle based Roots/Reggae sound system then called "Shutter Crew" as an MC in Zimbabwe Shutter dissolved in late 2002 forming two groups, Shutter Crew & Shutter Family, the Family became stronger than the Crew. The Family took Dizzy in as their official MC which brought conflict because during that period another sound system called Saxon Sound International led by Letcha T, worked with Dizzy as DJ and MC making it hard to take sides during clashes. 2003 saw the formation of the hardcore Dancehall/Soca/Reggaeton outfit and sound Platinum Vibes with Little Hero on the forefront and Soprano who was part of Saxon Sound. As an MC Dizzy Dee voiced on popular riddims during sound clashes and gigs which made him popular in the whole of South Eastern Zimbabwe. Later composing his own songs to feature on three albums under producer/engineer Rebel Child on the Maodzanyemba Records label in Chiredzi, making Dizzy Dee the first successful artist from Triangle, his town of birth. Moving on in 2004, Dizzy Dee met his challenge since more MC's and DJ's where chanting down on the mic, faster than wildfire. Dizzy Dee wrote and worked with Sheppy Lee, helping him to release his first album under the Creative Control label. Later that year Rebel Child & Dizzy Dee signed to the Kunta Records label owned by Tony Fresh in Chi-town (Chitungwiza) instantly releasing their hit single featuring Triple Pace called "Usandisiye" meaning "Don't leave me" featured on the riddim album (Kunta Riddim) which had air-play on Power FM (nation wide radio station) During the same period Rebel Child & Dizzy Dee teamed up again and released "Rastaman" which included singles like "Serial Killa" "Rhyming Kings" which was loved by many because of the diversity shown by the two artists. The two moved back to their hometowns to work on yet another project with Simba the main producer who was left at that period of time at Maodzanyemba, this time with sweet sensational voice "Yvonne" recording "Zvangazvanetsa Sei" meaning "How Did the problem Arise" Dizzy became a household artist releasing a limited number of records from his former management, he later refused to sign another contract due to personal reasons. 2005 Dizzy had at least a live show every fort night, big or small it was a point where exposure was the bigger lesson. Sharing the stage with the controversial rapper "Maskiri", Nicholas "Madzibaba" Zachariah, Sniper, Kuligan & Kalabash, Alexio Kawara & Stereo One's Jacky Bango & Sling Shot just to name a few. The next two years were "x amount of niceness" as they say in Jamaican Patois which is a major influence in Dizzy's voice. 2007, coming to Australia meant leaving behind local Zimbabwean sound clashes and Pasa pasa scene to study Graphic Design. Meeting Dan Murphy, Melbourne based producer/artist and P.Bashir was a blessing in disguise, since they were only into Hip hop beats etc. Never the less that did not stop them from working together. Later on the same year Dan Murphy recorded Dizzy Dee's unreleased and untitled album under the Smooth Operator label based in Sydney. Dr. Fil a popular MC in Melbourne's reggae scene introduced Dizzy Dee to Melbourne's most successful reggae sound system "Chant Down Sound" and in no time at all Jesse I & Ras Crucial realized the talent in Dizzy and worked with him as resident/official "Chant Down Sound" MC. "Dizzy Dee is what Chant Down needs right now" - Sista Itations, Natty Sistren Sound. Later that year Dizzy performed live as an opening act for Jah Mason, Junior Reid, Junior Kelly and the Irie Band with Stick Marebo in Melbourne. Voiced on some riddims from the Melbourne meets Kingston album by Mista Savona at the St Kilda Festival, currently Dizzy Dee is a vocalist in the roots reggae band "Mista Savona". Just before the end of the year Dizzy Dee had the pleasure to perform and freestyle live with Culture Connect, Mantra, a member of Illzilla and Jornick Joe lick the French Guiana vocalist before leaving for Canada. 2008 Dizzy Dee is fully armored and ready to let lose another cannon ball.
