After
meeting each other many times,they became very good friends and going
out almost every night.It was at an outdoor rave party when Keith first
met Liam.Keith was so impressed by the tunes Liam was playing that he
asked for a tape of his own mixes.Before Liam gave Keith the tape,he recorded
four of his own songs at the B-side.One night,when Keith and Leeroy were
coming back from a party,they put on the tape and they were shocked by
Liam's work.As Leeroy said:"We were buzzing our tits off".The next time
they saw Liam,they asked him to play his tunes for them to dance to.They
asked a girlfriend,Sharky,if she wanted to be with them.She sais "yes"
and the Prodigy was formed.Liam played the keyboards while Keith,Leeroy
and Sharky were dancing.Liam felt that a MC was needed in the group and
put in touch with Maxim Reality,a reggae MC.Maxim had got into MC-ing
at the age of 14,by watching his brother when he was MC-ing.This wasn't
the first time Maxim was a member of a music group.When he was living
in Nottingham,he had a musical partnership with a friend called Ian Sherwood.They
called themselves Maxim Reality and Sheik Yan Groove.They worked together
for a while and they split up.Maxim moved in London.Shortly after that,a
mutual friend put him in contact with the Prodigy.
