CRAZY WOODY

At last folks... someone who knows his music and knows it well. He's been called the "walking music encyclopedia" because he knows the names of the songs, the groups or artists, the year it came out, the label and the album it came from. He spends most of his time collecting vinyl from the old school... preferably funk! Maybe that's why he's called "Da Funk Meista."Woody Pena began spinning vinyl at the Oasis in Sanger, CA back in 1989, and later moved to High Fly Bar & Grill in 1994. Woody was well known for his flow on the mic, and made a name for himself as M.C. Woody. He even made a record with The Unit, and met radio legend Art Laboe, in the process. That chance meet would come in handy.By 1995 Woody found himself on the radio, working for KQEQ Kickin’ 1220AM. No stranger to the microphone, Woody was a natural. When David Caudillo was named Program Director, he quickly made Woody his Music Director, and utilized Woody’s vast knowledge of music. Together they put together a music format that would start to shape Fresno radio. Woody was a favorite to host concerts and rock the mic at local clubs. David would always hit the stage first and introduce his old friend, and it was at live broadcast, New Years Eve, that David introduced Woody as “The Crazy Man” Needless to say, the name stuck. Woody went on to help bring in and train new on air talent.In 1999, that chance meeting with Art Laboe came in handy. Woody went to work for the Art Laboe owned KKPW Power 94 in Kerman, CA. The Crazy Man was now on FM!!! Woody lit up the night show, with his crazy and outgoing persona.By the end of 2000, Woody moved to Fresno radio powerhouse, Mega 97.9 where you would catch him Monday through Thursday from 6 pm to 10 pm and Saturdays from 10am to 3 pm. If you're having trouble finding something out about a particular song, chances are Woody can help you. Woody also hosted BLVD. Nights, a Sunday dedication show from 6p-10p. The Crazy Man dug deep into the Old School and knocked out all your favorite Cruisin’ Oldies….perfect for the BBQ and hanging out.Woody’s busy schedule includes making music in his recording studio and now playing with his band The Fabulous Malibu's! He dropped his first solo EP “Still Tha Funkiest” back in 2005, and in 2006 Woody put out his full length CD “Muziktwofrybye” His musical influences include the "real" funkmeister George Clinton of Parliament/Funkadelic, Larry Blackmon of Cameo, and the "Master Of The Talkbox" Roger Troutman of ZAPP!Woody’s “talkboxing” skills landed him a spot with local band "The Fabulous Malibu's", a new band put together and headed up by Arcelio Garcia of Malo...we are currently preparing to release our debut CD...COMING SOON!Money_Making_Mission myspace layouts
