Details:
Crescendo, (born Carlton V. Carpenter II) was born and raised in Washington DC where he first developed his passion for music. Crescendo has been studying music for 19 years and producing for just under 9. He began his music education in 1989 at the DC Youth Orchestra, studying the clarinet. In 1992, wanting to further his musical background he decided to audition for Duke Ellington School of the Arts. There he continued to study the clarinet and later the saxophone and piano. After completing high school in 1996, he enrolled at Clark Atlanta University, studying music education.

In 1998 Crescendo moved back to Washington, DC with a vision of starting a production company. That dream would soon become a reality in 1999 when he, along with two business partners would establish Nuthouse Music Group, LLC, based out of Suitland, MD. Crescendo would go on to not only create music for hip-hop and R&B acts, but would also create a division of Nuthouse Music Group, LLC directed towards producing background music for commercial answering services. Due to differences of future goals of the original business owners, Nuthouse Music Group, LLC dissolved itâs partnership in 2003.

Towards the end of 2005, Crescendo realized that there wasnât any other career path that he would grow to love and take as his own, outside of music composition. So Crescendo started to rebuild his music catalog on his own and is presently shopping his projects to local and national organizations. His catalog not only appeals to the Hip-Hop and R&B genre, but is starting to strike a chord within the film industry. His goals include producing for up and coming artists as well as establishing his music in films.

Crescendo believes greatly in his natural talent. Within 2006, his goal is to make aggressive steps in establishing himself as a profound source towards a new sound and direction in the music industry. This is his vision, his passion and his God given talent. Nothing will hinder him from reaching the top.
