By way of introduction, my name is Bob Crawford and I am a 30-year veteran songwriter, producer, guitarist, and arranger working as a producer in genres such as Pop, R&B, Rock, Contemporary Jazz, Dance, Singer-Songwriter, New Country, and Folk idioms for 25 years.
I have worked as a producer with such various artists ranging from Jocelyn Brown, Mick Taylor, Maxine Brown, Dennis Williams (O’Jays, Temptations), Larry Harlow, Ron Richardson, Carl Hall, Aztec 2 Step, Beverly Crosby, Loretta Devine, and Vondie Curtis-Hall among many others. I have my own studio, RMCO MUSIC, in Chelsea in Manhattan, NY/USA, or if you prefer another one we can work there, or online, if you so desire. Please let me know if you would like to set up a meeting so that we can more fully discuss your project. In the meantime, here is my web address so that you can find out a bit more about me.
