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 that pormotes tolerance, equality and world peace, which is currently featured on the United Nations project UNESCO web site <em>www.newsongsforpeace.org </em>As a result of being on this web site "One Love One World" has been downloaded by teachers who taught it to their students and then performed it at their school&rsquo;s concerts all across the USA, Canada and recently in China! </span>
