Billy Joe Ledesma Crawford (born May 16, 1982) is a Filipino actor and singer. Crawford is a recipient of a NRJ Music Awards, a FAMAS Award and a special Aning Dangal award from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
Crawford made his television debut as a child performer on the variety show That's Entertainment. As a child actor, he received repeated acclaim for his performances in films such as Lost Command and Sandakot Na Bala (both 1988) and television programs such as Lovingly Yours, Helen. In 1994, at age 12, Crawford left the Philippines for the U.S., enrolling at the Professional Performing Arts School, New York City; less than one year later, he was chosen to be one of Michael Jackson's back-up dancers for a performance at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards.
Following his eventual graduation from performing arts high school, and subsequent return to the Philippines, Billy Crawford: It's Time was staged at the Araneta Coliseum as his homecoming special. In 2022, he was announced as the grand winner of the French dance competition program, Danse avec les Stars (English: ‘dance with the stars’).[1]
Having sold an estimated 2 million records worldwide, Crawford is among the best-selling Filipino artists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.[2][3] He released three studio albums under V2 Records, the first being his self-titled debut album. In 2002, he released his second album Ride. It was a commercial success, being certified Gold in Switzerland by the IFPI and Platinum in France by the SNEP. It produced his most successful single, "Trackin", which was a massive chart success across Europe. It reached No. 1 in the Netherlands, peaked at No. 11 on the European Hot 100 Singles and sold 500,000 units in France.[2]
Early life and career
[edit]Billy Joe Ledesma Crawford was born in Manila, Philippines, to a Filipino mother from Jaro, Iloilo City named Mayette Ledesma and an American father named Jack Crawford. He has two half-brothers.
Crawford was discovered at the early age of 3 years, singing at a bowling alley that his mother often visited. He became a series regular on an afternoon GMA Network television show called That's Entertainment under the name Billy Joe. Afterwards, he acted in various screen works such as the films Lost Command and Sandakot Na Bala and the anthology drama series Lovingly Yours, Helen, with his performances being consistently acclaimed.[4][5][6] For his performance in the latter's episode "My Brother, My Friend" in 1988, Meg Mendoza of the Manila Standard stated that Crawford was "the most natural child actor we've seen after Jay Ilagan", though she noted that his Tagalog can be improved upon.[6]
He attended the Imus Unida Christian School in the Philippines until his departure for the US when he was 12 and balanced both his professional acting and his studies. In the United States, he started a music career, performing mostly in the United Kingdom and France, as well as in Asia. His early career started in Dallas, Texas, where he lived and performed his singing and then moved to New York City. During this time, he legally changed his stage name to Billy Crawford. He first went to P.S./I.S. 217 Roosevelt Island Public School and then to Professional Performing Arts School in New York City with other famous professional children, such as Lee Thompson Young, Mandy Moore and Nina Sky.
In 1995, when he was 13, he landed his first professional gig as a backup dancer for Michael Jackson for his performance of Dangerous at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards.

As for singles, following the success of the second track, "When You Think About Me" (over 250,000 copies sold in France), Crawford returned in September 2002 with a third single from the Ride album, "You Didn't Expect That", which went directly into the top 5 and was certified gold in December, having sold more than 250,000 copies in just a few weeks. After this grand success, he returned in 2003 with two versions of a previously unreleased track: the English version of "Someone Like You" and a special Franco-English version for France, "Me passer de toi", which stayed in the singles charts for some weeks.

Music and television career
[edit]Crawford had major chart success in France and other parts of Europe but did not repeat this success in the United Kingdom and the United States, although his single "You Didn't Expect That" did make the lower reaches of the UK Top 40, peaking at number 35. He also contributed a cover of the original Pokémon TV series theme song for Pokémon: The First Movie.[8] In 2002, Crawford also appeared at a popular Filipino-American event called "Fiesta Filipina", held in San Francisco, California.
Crawford's album Big City was released in 2004 in France and Asia only. The single "Bright Lights" was unable to break into any Top 10 charts. The second single "Steamy Nights", produced by Kovas – Ghetto Beat, fared better, making the Top 40, and was featured on 7 compilations across Europe and was the first single in Germany. Crawford's music video for "Steamy Nights" was shot in Los Angeles, California, and was produced with the same people who worked on the Destiny's Child single "Lose My Breath". Actress Jenna Dewan, who was one of the main characters in the popular 2006 film Step Up, was featured as Crawford's dance partner.
Another song from the album, "Candy Store", was leaked from the album and received airplay on London radio. Thought to be a duet with Ginuwine, it is featured on the Big City album. After doing the first-ever online reality show The MSN Dance Show, his third single from the album, "3 Wishes", was canceled by his label. Crawford felt that it was time for something new and decided not to re-sign his contract with V2 Records. The same year, he voiced Dean in the 1st episode from the 3rd season of the animated TV show Totally Spies!.[9]
In 2006, Crawford began recording a new album which was expected to be released in 2007. In 2006, he toured during the summer with the group L5 in France and in November he was scheduled to return to his home country to shoot a film. That same year, he was recorded a cover of Super Freak by Rick James from the French animated film Asterix and the Vikings.[10]
In 2007, Billy Crawford returned to the Philippines to host the dance reality show "MOVE: The Search for Billy Crawford's Pinoy Dancers" on GMA Network. The program aimed to select six backup dancers, known as The Movers, for his inaugural Philippine concert, 'Billy Crawford: It's Time,' held at the Araneta Coliseum. The show's main judge, known as the Move Master, was Marie Courchinoux, also called 'Maryss from Paris.' Initially, six Movers were chosen, with a seventh later added to complete the crew. The official dancers for Crawford included Darcy Godoy, JM Vergara, Aizel Moñeva, AJ Sarate, Jobel Dayrit, Daniel Agbisit, and Mich Garong. Following the successful concert, Crawford returned to the United States to pursue various projects and fulfill commitments. [citation needed]
In 2008, upon his return to the Philippines, Crawford signed with ABS-CBN as an exclusive artist. He became a regular on the Sunday variety show ASAP and later hosted Pinoy Dream Academy Überture, a reality search that involves the skill of singing.
In 2009, he returned to acting via Your Song Presents with his partner and fellow singer Nikki Gil. He also released his fifth studio album Groove in the Philippines as well as worldwide digital services later that year. He also hosted a former talent show, Showtime.

In 2013, he launched his initial EP, "Sky Is the Limit," under the independent label Jackpot Records, marking his return to music since 2009. On April 4, 2014, he extended his contract with Universal Records and announced plans to release a new album later that year. In 2017, during the promotion of a Soul Brothers concert featuring him, he performed his latest single, "Future," dedicated to his wife, Coleen García.[11]
In September 2020, Crawford transferred to TV5 Network, as he hosted the Philippine version of The Masked Singer and the noontime variety show Lunch Out Loud, which later reformatted to Tropang LOL and simulcasted to Kapamilya Channel and A2Z in 2022 until its conclusion in 2023. He began hosting game show The Wall Philippines in 2021. as the latter moved to GMA Network for its second season in 2022, it also marked Crawford's return to his home network after 15 years.[12]
He participated in the French television dance competition "Danse avec les stars" and won the competition with his partner, Fauve Hautot.
Crawford became part of GMA Network's adaptation of The Voice franchise in the country, as one of the coaches in The Voice Generations (2023),[13] and The Voice Kids (2024).[14]
Legal issues
[edit]In September 2014, Crawford was involved in an incident at a Bonifacio Global City police precinct where he allegedly flew into a drunken rage, injuring a desk officer and damaging the precinct's glass door in the ensuing scuffle.[15]
Crawford, who had no prior history of legal incidents, has since issued an apology to his fans and to the officers whom he crossed paths with,[16][17] though mischief and assault charges have been filed against him.[18]
Personal life
[edit]In 2013, Crawford and Filipino actress Nikki Gil broke up. The next year, he began dating his co-host Coleen García from It's Showtime!.[19] The two became engaged on December 20, 2016,[20] and married on April 20, 2018.[21] On September 10, 2020, they welcomed their son, Amari.[22]
