At the age fourteen, Chris Craft's father bought his son his first piece of music equipment (an Ensoniq SQ-1 keyboard). From that moment, Craft knew that music would always be a part of his life. Craft's early years were spent making beats alongside his then production partner, 2 Phat, for his group Xian Nation in Houston. 2 Phat had the sampling mixer and Craft brought the keys. After his days of making beats live on stage while performing in Texas, Xian Nation eventually faded out. This lead Craft to start a new crew with his Houston roots and new friends from Morehouse College. Divine Mind, the collective that came to life in 1997 on the campus of Morehouse College, included co-head-honcho Lamar "Merlin" Gilliam, partners Kevin "Quino" Johnson and Jason "Trec" Boulware, and a group of some of the most talented young artists Craft has ever known. Lamar and Chris were the main energy behind the collective both musically and financially. Their collaboration evolved into the independent powerhouse, Shaman Work Recordings.
After the loss of his parents, Craft decided to form Aljera Music, Inc. in their memories. Their spirit drives him in life and in this venture. Craft's goal with Aljera is to release quality, fun, and intelligent music with Mr. Craft's stamp of approval. Chris Craft will continue to dedicate all of his work and energy to God, the memories of his mother and father, his lovely and supportive wife, family, and the promise of the future.
With running two independent labels, Craft is busy balancing the business side of music while staying committed to actually making his own music. With Shaman Work, Chris and Lamar have had the chance to develop raw talent and help many artists reach their dreams. At the same time, Chris knows there's a lot more for him to accomplish in the world of music production. He continues to learn, nurture his gifts, and make his ideas manifest.
