IT ALL BEGINS WITH AN IDEA
Founded in November 2015 by Alonté Cross, Crossfade Productions is a creative powerhouse where music, media, and culture converge. What began as a multimedia production agency, serving clients across various industries, has since evolved into a dynamic platform for original content, creative education, artist incubation, and branded experiences. With a fully equipped studio location in Laurel, MD, Crossfade Productions is a hub for storytelling, collaboration, and innovation.
At its core, Crossfade Productions exists to blur the lines between art and life, creating a seamless transition; a crossfade, between passion and profession, creativity and commerce, dreams and reality. The company is built on a foundation of authentic storytelling, cultural impact, and strategic brand development, providing both emerging and established creatives with the tools to bring their visions to life.
OUR EVOLUTION
Originally launched as Crossfade Media, the company built its reputation through high-quality video production, photography, brand development, and consulting services. Over time, its mission expanded beyond client services to establish itself as a content-driven platform, producing original series, music projects, talent incubation programs, live events, and creative education initiatives. In 2025, the company rebranded as Crossfade Productions to better reflect this expanded vision.
OUR PILLARS
Crossfade operates across four key areas:
ORIGINAL CONTENT – A production studio and platform for storytelling, spanning short films, documentaries, digital series, branded content, and social-driven media. Crossfade’s content is bold, culture-shaping, and deeply resonant.
TALENT INCUBATION – A creative development hub supporting artists, musicians, influencers, and storytellers, offering coaching, production, and strategic branding to help them build sustainable careers.
EVENTS & EXPERIENCES – A curated lineup of creative programming, including THE ARTXZBT (a talent showcase and networking experience), music events, workshops, and interactive brand activations that celebrate artistry and community.
CREATIVE SERVICES & EDUCATION – A range of offerings, from branding and content production to coaching and business development, helping creatives turn their passions into thriving ventures. The company also provides educational resources and industry insights through its upcoming Crossfade Academy.
