Grooveallegiance USA was created by songwriter / producer Craig A. Eleazer after spending several years with Listen For Pleasure Productions. There he played an instrumental part in the creation of the 2000 James Aldridge CD titled "Close Your Eyes." Craig composed the tracks "Suyapa" and "Give Me A Chance." He also helped rewrite the track "I Want Your Love." Craig parted ways with LFP and began booking local jazz and soul bands in Boston. From that point until the present he has created strong relationships with all the top singers and musicians in town! Craig also created the soul / jazz band BlackSole as a way to get started in the booking game. They perform in their own right and have backed the singers Shannell, James Aldridge, Lori Dow, Leon Beal, Jr. and Ashanti Munir. In 2002 Craig co-produced a demo for saxophonist Antonio Jackson and bassist Raphael "Ray" Brown which later turned into BrownJackson's "Live At Slades" CD.
In March of 2007 he began production on Ashanti Munir's debut CD "Balance." Felix Mwangi (Ahmir, Lori Dow, Leon Beal, Jr.) from 12th Note Productions produced, composed and was the primary musician on the CD. Together they composed the tracks "Lovers And Friends", "I'm Staying Home Tonight", "I'll Be There (Where You Are)", "Follow Your Heart and "Honestly I Do" which was co-written with Ashanti Munir.
