'''Leeroy Thornhill''' (born [[8 October]] [[1968]]) is a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[electronic music]] artist and formerly a [[dancer]] of the British rave act [[The Prodigy]]. He was born in [[Barking]], [[Essex]] but raised in [[Braintree]] and grew up as a [[Football (soccer)|Footballfootball]] and [[James Brown (musician)|James Brown]] fan. Leeroy joined The Prodigy along with [[Keith Flint]] after they met [[Liam Howlett]] at a local rave club. Both were dancers for the band's live show which became huge in the rave scene. Leeroy's style of dance can be described as a 'technical running on the spot'. In 2000 Leeroy left the band as he felt he had nothing to do in live shows as fellow dancer [[Keith Flint]] took to the mic on live shows and the music became more band oriented. Leeroy went on to make various EPs under the guises of [[Longman]] and [[Flightcrank]], however these projects never saw any substantial successes. Leeroy now DJs at large venues and is still in touch with [[The Prodigy]]. Leeroy has also been rumoured to be DJing to warm up crowds before Prodigy shows. He also works as regular DJ and rocks the crowds with livemixed Prodigy classics.
