The band was the creation of Wayne Fromm, and was based on the toy known as Crazy Bones. Fromm and his partner, Eric Segal, were marketing the toy through their company All 4 Fun Toy Products Ltd. The B2Krazy video for their song "Something to Say" contains animated images of Crazy Bones characters.
In 2000, the band released their album B2Krazy,[2] which produced two top-20 hits: "Dream About You" and "Something To Say".[citation needed] "Something To Say" was featured in a 2001 episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation.[3] Shortly after the album's release, the group broke up. Brett Ryan Kruger went on to play with, and write for, several artists.[4] Kruger and Epstein are now the songwriting/production team The Maven Boys. The other members left the music world. After the album's release, Fromm sold his shares in the project to Segal and went on to invent the Selfie stick.
