Jermaine Crawford was born in 1992 and currently resides in metropolitan-Washington, DC. He started performing at the age of three and has refined his "triple threat talent" in various productions throughout Washington, DC. He is also an electrifying singer and has won many singing competitions throughout Maryland and Washington. His career aspirations include acting and singing.

Jermaine's latest body of work is a principle role in the HBO drama, "The Wire." Critics have hailed the weekly serial as one the best shows on television. The show is an urban-based drama chronicling the consequences of competing public policies put forth by the institutional pillars in Baltimore, MD. As the show begins its' fourth season in September 2006, primary focus will be given to how those public policies drive the cultural forces that influence and endanger the lives of four black inner-city youth.

David 'Davinch' Chance, one of the recording duo of Ruff Endz, began his national musical career in 2000 with the acclaimed Epic R&B album, Love Crimes.   A second album, Someone To Love You, followed in 2002. David's extensive talents are demonstrated not only in his vocal performances with Ruff Endz and in his ability to play the guitar, keyboards and piano, but also in his ability to create and produce memorable music for himself as well as for other artists. In addition to the title song of his first album, Love Crimes, David co-wrote the lyrics for several other songs on the album including Missing You, Where Does Love Go, Phone Sex, Please Don't  Forget  About  Me, Apologize and Saying I Love You. As a producer, Davinch contributed to the 2001 Epic Christmas Seasons of Soul album in which he wrote and produced the song, Christmas Without You.  In the same year, he wrote the MCA hit single, Baller, for artist Richard Burton. Please Don't Forget about Me, a song co-written in 2001 by David and Nokio (Dru Hill), was featured in the movie Bluestreak starring Martin Lawrence. The 2002 movie, I SPY, starring Eddie Murphy featured the soundtrack Cash, Money, Cars, Clothes  which was written and produced by David. He followed this in 2003 with the hit song Without You, which he wrote and produced for Motown artist Latif. The second Ruff Endz album, Someone To Love You, released in 2002 showcases David's creative talents in the following songs which he wrote and produced: Will You Be Mine, Look to The Hills, Kamasutra, and Would U Leave Me. Davinch has worked and collaborated with some of the most talented and well known writers and producers in today’s recording industry. He has been fortunate to be associated with the following artists: Diane Warren, Corey Rooney, Brian Cox, Eddie F., Darren Lighty, The Clips, Ghost Face Killer of the WuTang Clan, Camron, Memphis Bleek, and Beanie Man. His unique experience as a proven lyricist, performer and producer has provided him with knowledge of the industry shared by few others. His experience coupled with his exceptional personal characteristics are what sets David apart from others in this field. David is a tireless hard worker imbued with a very strong work ethic and an incredible desire to succeed. His strong values learned from hard-working parents have taught him that a life well-lived is one devoted to God, family, and work. David has absorbed these qualities and demonstrates them daily in his strong and unwavering dedication to his goal of music production. His experience, qualifications, and stellar personal characteristics make David a valuable asset to those with whom he is associated.
