Super music producer with home studio of over ten years.While studying Mass Communication, Raishard Crawford, known in the music industry as “X-Ray”, found his love for music, drum beats, head nodding sounds and dance rhythms. While concluding his education at Rutgers University, he took an internship at Black Entertainment Television (BET), this opportunity would later land him a job at BET. Taking full advantage of the position at BET, X-Ray became a sponge and was determined to learn as much as he could about the music industry. His experience was the spring board for his motivation and career in the business of music production and entertainment. During his journey, X-Ray encountered music professionals who saw his determination and love for the business of music production. These industry professionals mentored him and became interested in helping him enhance his talent. 88Fingaz, the Founder and C.E.O of Keys 2 Life, played a very important role in teaching X-Ray the business of music and the dedication that it would take to build a successful career in the business. These types of practices were the key factor in X-Ray accomplishing so much, so early in his life. He has worked with Kenisha Pratt, who is credited on Brandy’s albums and who also worked with Timberland on her forth-coming album. He has also worked with Carmen and Cyph who is credited for writing “Shout” on Michael Jackson’s album. He also has had the pleasure of working with music producer Jarrad Thomas (Ruben Studdard’s freshman album and much more). He has been mentored and taught by The Neptunes engineer Rob Ash at the legendary Master Sounds in Virginia Beach, Virginia. X-Ray’s discography includes music production on the successful debut single “Wishing”, by Yahzarah aka Purple Saint James, album who is previously was a background singer for Erica Badu. In 2008, Raishard "X-Ray" Crawford expanded his portfolio to include starring in an independent film, Love's Triangle. During his college years, Raishard Crawford also accepted acting roles and sports broadcasting opportunities. In 2008, X-Ray moved his private studio to Atlanta, Georgia.

I have been in the industry since 1999.
