Crazy P was first formed in 1995 by University of Nottingham friends Chris Todd and Jim Baron. Moore joined the group as a vocalist in 2002, along with bassist Tim Davies and percussionist Mav Kendricks.

Their singles include 1996 debut Digging Deeper and There’s a Better Place which samples the song Pure Imagination from movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

Moore toured with Crazy P at festivals including The Big Chill, Bestival and Beatheard, and at iconic clubs including XOYO in London and Wild Renate in Berlin.

She also was a DJ, previously telling Le Visiteur she first went behind the decks because she was inspired by the dancefloor.

Moore said about her DJ career: I love listening to new music. I really wish I had more time to really indulge in the seeking and searching. There’s so much great music constantly coming through but there’s also amazing old music that you can’t possibly hear. That’s the brilliance of it.

‘I’ve made a conscious decision to get out more and book some weekends off to get to hear some of the DJs I love to dance to. After all that’s the whole reason I started. Because I was inspired by the dancefloor. I always get nervous. It’s part of the process for me. But I love it.’
