Dean Blunt is a musician, singer-songwriter, record producer and conceptual artist. Blunt is best known for both his solo work and his partnership-based creations with avant-garde groups Hype Williams (featuring himself and Inga Copeland) and more recently, Babyfather; he was also the co-founder of London rock band Graffiti Island. He has been described as "a prolific, category-rejecting artist" and "an art-pop provocateur."

Blunt has also hosted conceptual art exhibitions in the past, which often utilize found objects and off-putting audiovisual elements in an informal way. Two examples of these are 'Safe Space' and 'hot16': the former amongst other things displayed a vending machine full of KA brand soft drinks, framed Twilight/Blade crossover posters taken from DeviantArt and a neon cinema schedule set for two runnings of the 1992 film "Fly By Night". The latter was a minimalist exhibition displaying a cocktail bar and a framed stock photo accompanied by high pitched ringing.
