Glen Faria, born in Amsterdam of Surinamese descent, is a rapper, singer, and actor. He has a son named Jair Faria. In 2004, Glen co-founded the hip-hop group Flinke Namen with his neighbor The Flexican (aka Sef), where he went by the name MC Fit. The group gained attention, appeared on several compilation albums, and in 2007 connected with Top Notch, though they didn't sign at first. In 2008, Glen officially signed with the label.

In 2013, Glen released his debut solo album, Glen Faria, which included the track "Stapje Back" — later re-recorded as a duet with singer Laura Jansen. That same year, he appeared in the film Roffa.

Glen also participated in the AVROTROS program Best Singers (2018) and was a coach on The Talent Academy. In 2018, his song "Takes Too Long" was covered by Davina Michelle, which became a hit. Tino Martin also covered his track "She Knows It." Glen appeared in the NPO series The Big Escape, finishing seventh. Additionally, he voiced Uatu the Watcher in Disney+'s What If...?.
