Born in 1944 in Maraval Road, Port of Spain, Crazy was one of eleven children with a rich heritage—a Chinese Trinidadian father and an Afro-Venezuelan mother. He was a promising cricketer but chose music, initially performing as Wong Ping and the Mighty Arawak before fellow calypsonian Fred Farrell dubbed him “Crazy” for his bold performances.
Crazy’s debut at Carnival came in 1975 with “The Electrician,” followed by hits like “Satan’s Coming.” By 1978, he made history with “Parang Soca,” blending soca with Latin sounds. Crazy’s hit “Nani Wine” became an international chutney soca classic, pioneering the genre. He reached new heights in 1985, winning Road March with “Suck Meh Soucouyant.”
From acting in local productions to performing globally, Crazy has made waves everywhere. In 2012, he introduced “Trini-style reggae” with a “Hotel California” cover, proving his creativity never fades. Honoured in 2013 as one of the top 50 calypsonians by TUCO, Crazy is an icon of Trinidadian music.
Let’s celebrate a true legend!
