Crazy P

Chris Todd and Jim Baron formed the band after meeting at the University of Nottingham. The band's sound incorporates soul music, disco and house music. You can think of their music like baking a cake. You mix fresh disco ingredients with a heavy, bouncy electronic bassline. It makes you want to dance. Todd and Baron started making music in a small bedroom studio in 1995. They sampled old 1970s and 1980s records. They wanted a name that stood out. They originally called themselves "Crazy Penis," Todd explained the origin of the band name: "A flat mate of mine had a record called 'loco pinga' which roughly translates to Crazy Penis, we were going to call ourselves loco pinga but once we told people that, they liked crazy penis better for the shock value. By 2002 the band expanded to include bassist Tim Davies, percussionist Mav Kendricks, and vocalist Danielle Moore. Her bright, happy energy turned them into a full live band. The band began using 'Crazy P' exclusively in 2008. In September 2024, the band suffered a huge loss when singer Danielle Moore died suddenly at age 52. She was the heart and soul of the band. The band continues to make music today to honor her legacy. They celebrate her life and the joy she brought to the dance floor.
