Crawford has written and produced multiple albums for chart-topping artists, including Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Tamia, Deborah Cox, Montell Jordan, and Kelly Price.[4][5][6]

In 1995, Crawford co-produced the song "Daddy's Home" on Montell Jordan's debut album This Is How We Do It. Jordan brought Crawford on as his music director, after having known each other as musicians in church during their childhood, and Crawford began his professional career.[7][8]

In 1998, he produced and co-wrote the platinum single Deborah Cox track "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here".[9][10] The song was certified Platinum in the United States,[11] spending a then-record fourteen weeks at number 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart,[12][13] and ranking at number 1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart and number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.[14] In 2017, Billboard ranked the song at number 5 on its Greatest of All Time Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[15]

In 1999, Crawford produced and co-wrote the Sisqó song "Incomplete". The song was certified Platinum in the United States[16] and ranked at number 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.

In 2000, he produced the Whitney Houston and Deborah Cox duet "Same Script, Different Cast". It was nominated for the Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single (Group, Band or Duo). He also began working with Kelly Price and went on to produce multiple albums for her.[17] That same year, Crawford was named as one of the top three producers and songwriters of the year by Billboard.[18]

In 2001, Crawford won both the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance for Glady Knight's album At Last and the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album for Yolanda Adams' album The Experience.[19] In 2003, Crawford won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year, the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, and the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song for Luther Vandross' album Dance With My Father.[20] That same year, he wrote and produced the song "Stranger in My House" for Tamia.[21] The song was ranked number 1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.[22] He also founded 45 Live Records with former manager Erica Grayson and signed his first artist Onitsha, to produce her debut album Church Girl in collaboration with Still Waters, a division of Hidden Beach Recordings.[23][24]

In 2012, he produced select songs on Tamia's album, Beautiful Surprise.[25] The album and song of the same name were nominated for Best R&B Album and Best R&B Song at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards in 2013.[26]
