This passionate singer/songwriter brings a positive and upbeat approach to today's music. Combining the sounds of Modern Rock, Pop and Dance, Craymo weaves a blend of catchy hooks, melodies and textured harmonies that linger in your mind long after the songs are over. Craymo's early influences include David Bowie, The Cars, Morrissey, The Cure, The Beatles, Duran Duran, U2, George Michael and more recently Robbie Williams, Depeche Mode and No Doubt. Coming from a small town in upstate New York he fell in love with songs "that take you on a journey to another place." Craymo is a sensitive artist whose songs speak of real life experiences and emotions. Craymo began his career as a radio and nightclub DJ, the club he was working for went bankrupt, bouncing his last two paychecks, got evicted from his apartment and was homeless for six months living in his compact Mazda car. To help lift his spirits from his circumstances he wrote his song “One Love, One World,” a song for world peace and tolerance, which is currently featured on the United Nations project website www.newsongsforpeace.org Craymo appeared on the original Star Search ‘89 with Ed McMahan. He recently won the online song competition at Make A Star.com with his song “Love Me Or Leave Me” and won 2nd place in the “Remaking The Hit Contest” at Goodnight Kiss Music Publishing for his version of “Sara Smile” by Hall& Oates. Craymo and his band have been playing the LA club scene, opening a show for Smashmouth and has licensed songs in four indie film soundtracks including Miss Castaway with Eric Roberts and Michael Jackson, Silly Movie 2, That Darn Bear, with Ed Begley Jr., Paper Thin Immortals and Accidents Can Happen which stars Corbin Bernson and Debra Wilson (MADTV). Craymo also recently co-wrote the theme song for the new reality show "Sinbad's Reality U." "Happy Birthday (remix)" was a semi-finalist for best pop song in the UK Songwriting Awards and was the 3rd place winner in the dance/electronic category of the Pacific Songwriting Competition. "Happy Birthday (Remix)" was recently licensed in the season 2 opening episode of the Canadian reality TV show "Chris and John To The Rescue!"
