Baby D is the name of a UK breakbeat hardcore, jungle and house music band, best known for their single "Let Me Be Your Fantasy", #1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1994.

The group was formed by Production House Records, a record label which had been set up in 1987 by former recording artist Phil Fearon, whose group Galaxy had had a number of hits in the 1980s. Involved with the rave scene, Production House's in-house record producer, Floyd Dyce, wrote and performed under several different names including The House Crew, DMS and Xstatic. Baby D were originally another outlet for his compositions, also consisting of lead vocalist (Baby D) Dee Galdes-Fearon, Claudio Galdez on keyboards and windsynth and Terry Jones (stage name MC Nino) on vocals and keyboards.

Early singles between 1991 and 1994 were "underground" hits, but failed to cross over into the pop mainstream, save for their being sampled on "Break and Enter", track two on The Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation. Two of them scraped into the lower end of the UK Singles Chart. "Let Me Be Your Fantasy" was the exception, in that although it had not made the chart at all when first released in 1992, it continued to be a small but steady seller, hanging around the bottom half of the unpublished Top 200 listing for two years, and clocking up sales of around 40,000. It also reached the number one spot in the UK Dance Chart, staying there for two weeks. In 1994, the track was signed by London Records and re-released, at which point it promptly debuted on the chart at #3, and then spent two weeks at #1, this time selling about a quarter of a million copies.

In the summer of 1995, Baby D reached #3 with a rave version of the Korgis' 1980 ballad "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime", re-titled "(Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime) I Need Your Loving" and the same chart position with "So Pure". Other hits followed, plus a Top 5 album, Deliverance. Dyce now runs his own record label, Redmaster, and still writes and produces, while Fearon still performs in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe.

Jones also co-wrote a #1 for Peter Andre, and re-mixed and produced for Eternal and the Backstreet Boys, as well as St. Etienne vocalist Sarah Cracknell.

In 2000, a remix of "Let Me Be Your Fantasy" (courtesy of the Trick or Treat production team), made the UK Top 20. In 2004, the track was also covered by Ashley Jade but, although it made #19 on the US Hot Dance Singles Sales chart, it did not make the main listing.

In the summer of 2008, the band performed at the UK dance music festival, Global Gathering. They continue to perform on the club and festival circuit.

Also there is an underground Atlanta rapper under same name Baby D (born as Donald B. Jenkins. on November 5, 1977) was 21 when his first album, Off Da Chain, was released in 2000 on Big Oomp Records. Two years later his follow up, Lil' Chopper Toy was released. A major label bidding war ensued, garnering the young MC a multi-million dollar deal with Epic Records.
He is now signed with Koch Records, and has released his first mainstream album, "A-Town Secret Weapon", on April 29th, 2008.
