Magnedo7

Michael Crawford, better known as Magnedo7, is an American music producer from North Carolina. He has worked with many artists including Jim Jones, Obie Trice, 50 Cent, Eminem and Ice Cube. Michael's first break in the music industry came with the production "Blow the Bank," on Jim Jones' album Pray IV Reign. Crawford holds a bachelor's degree in arts and science from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.

Early life
Crawford was born on November 7, 1983, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the son of Cynthia, who owns a local beauty salon. In the sixth grade he started playing piano for different churches locally, and also began recording music on a four-track TASCAM cassette recorder he purchased with money he made from playing piano on the weekends. He started an ensemble with a childhood friend called the Voices of Victory, which later became Chosen for Praise. His musical influences includes Prince, Parliament Funkadelic, and Busta Rhymes. Later in his career he learned to sample music from musicians of this time period. He would play songs that he heard, practicing until he mastered them.

In 1999 while in high school, Crawford met with music producer Ski Beatz, who encouraged Crawford's work.

While attending college at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, Crawford started producing beats in his dormitory room and started a hip hop group called the Internationalz which opened the door for him to release music independently. While in the hip hop group Magnedo7 started performing as a rapping keyboard player, as the group performed shows up and down the East coast. Crawford worked as a management trainee at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, where he played the group's album, and sold copies while driving customers. He interned at Hidden Beach Recordings as a Street Team Representative. Throughout 2003 through emailing record labels and music managers, and sending CDs weekly, he landed a management deal. This deal led to his first major label placement on the Jim Jones album Pray IV Reign.

In 2007, Magnedo7 started his production and publishing company called Elleisinc Music Group. Since the start of the company, music has been released on Shady/Aftermath Records, Interscope, Sony, Universal Music Group, Grand Hustle, G-unit, and also licensed on ESPN. EIMG, the label has also released music from ABC networks Rising Star contestant Shameia Crawford and has produced music for Miss Hawaii Candes Meijide Gentry and several independent artists from North Caroline, Georgia, Louisiana & Michigan.
