The Prodigy

The Prodigy is an influential British electronic music group formed in 1990. Originating from Braintree, Essex, the band was initially created by Liam Howlett, who is known for his innovative production and pioneering work in electronic music. The group's original lineup included Keith Flint, known for his energetic and punk-inspired performances, and Maxim, who provided distinctive vocal flair. The Prodigy rose to prominence in the early 1990s with their groundbreaking blend of rave, techno, and breakbeat hardcore, ultimately contributing to the genres of big beat and electronica. Their 1997 album, "The Fat of the Land," catapulted them to international fame, featuring iconic tracks like "Firestarter" and "Breathe," both of which showcased their aggressive sound and unique aesthetic. Over the years, The Prodigy has released several successful albums and has been credited with helping to bring electronic music to mainstream audiences. Despite the tragic passing of Keith Flint in 2019, The Prodigy continues to influence and shape the electronic music landscape with their relentless energy and boundary-pushing sound.
