Shondrae Crawford, better known as Bangladesh, is a beat creator, producer and dj who was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa but now lives in Atlanta, Georgia.



Bangladesh began producing beats in 1998, but his first big break did not come until 2000 for his production of Ludacris' hit single, What's Your Fantasy.



Shondrae Crawford chose the name Bangladesh because he describes his sample-free, keyboard centric production style as "Bangladesh": "It's foreign to the ears."
