Chris Todd and Jim Baron founded the house and disco outfit Crazy P while at university in Nottingham in the mid-90s – originally known as Crazy Penis – and were signed by Manchester label Paper Recordings. Moore was part of an expansion of the group in 2002, alongside bassist Tim Davies and percussionist Mav Kendricks. They released seven studio albums and more remix albums.
That spirit continued into her role as frontwoman of Crazy P, in which Moore became known for her expressive singing and showmanship. “Performing is everything,” she is quoted as saying. “When I’m performing, I feel like I’ve stepped into my alter ego and am able to take on any mood. It’s very empowering to become detached from my own slightly vulnerable self.”
