Edwin Ayoung AKA CRAZY, a calypsonian from Trinidad & Tobago, is one of the top
performers of Calypso & Soca music.
He started his professional career in 1972 in the calypso tent "The Original Brigade"
and grabbed his audience with a double-entendre The Electrician.
1978 was a successful season with Dustbin Cover and the debut on the stage of National
Calypso Monarch where he now is a veteran of this competition.
This year Crazy was the first artist to sing a mix of Parang and Soca
with the song Parang Soca which also gave the name to this style.
He has several hits through the years as 1980 top single Don't Try That, second place
Road March in 1982 with Uncle Crazy.
In 1985 he won the Road March title with Suck Meh Soucouyant and was one of the pioneers
of Chutney Soca with Nani Wine in 1989.

Based in Trinidad and California Crazy frequently performs across the
Caribbean and the US and in several European countries as Sweden, Germany, France,
Austria, England and Italy.
A performance of Crazy is a wild, happy and crazy experience and ranges from
social commentary calypso to wild party soca.
