The Prodigy was founded in Braintree, Essex, in 1990 by keyboardist and songwriter Liam Howlett. The original lineup comprised Howlett, dancer and singer Keith Flint, dancer Leeroy Thornhill, MC and vocalist Maxim (then known as Maxim Reality) and female dancer Sharky.
The quintet played their first-ever gig at the Four Aces, a tiny venue in Dalston, east London. They were paid £100 between them.
The band was named after the Moog Prodigy analogue synthesizer.
