The house/disco group, originally known as Crazy Penis, were founded by Chris Todd and Jim Baron while at university in Nottingham in the ‘90s. Moore joined the outfit in 2002, alongside bassist Tim Davies and percussionist Mav Kendricks, releasing seven albums.

Tributes for the artist have been flooding in from across the music world, with Irish musician Róisín Murphy describing Moore as someone who “touched everybody she met with light and love.”

“One of the most beautiful souls has left us,” Murphy wrote on X. “The brilliant Danielle Moore of Crazy P has died suddenly and she has taken so much light with her. One of the best in music, an amazing person and an amazing singer, performer and songwriter.

“I know there will be a great sense of loss and mourning across our community.”
