Biography

Shondrae Lee Crawford (born February 24, 1978), known professionally as Bangladesh, is an American record producer, songwriter, and rapper from Des Moines, Iowa. Crawford has stated that his professional moniker has nothing to do with the country of Bangladesh, noting that he and his friends originally used the term as slang to describe anything "cool or exotic." He has been credited with production work on the Billboard Hot 100-top 40 singles "What's Your Fantasy" by Ludacris, "A Milli" and "6 Foot 7 Foot" by Lil Wayne, "Diva" by Beyoncé, "Break Up" by Mario, and "Bossy" by Kelis. A two-time Grammy nominee, Crawford has also worked with Usher, Nicki Minaj, Brandy, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Ciara, among others.
