Crutchfield Jones, a perfectly imperfect union… juggling marriage, music, modeling, and acting careers, while being full time parents in Los Angeles. Shireen and Ricky met some 30 years ago at Motown Records in Hollywood, California. Shireen was the lead singer of the 90’s chart topping group, The Good Girls, and Ricky, the lead singer of the popular harmonic group, Yours Truly. Sharing the same manager, they frequented the same events, but it wasn’t until leaving Motown that they started a friendship.
Their careers took them in different directions. Shireen began modeling and acting heavily, working with notable figures like Giorgio Armani, Rob Lowe, Chanel, Will Smith, John Lithgow, Calvin Klein, Taraji P. Henson, Geena Davis and others. Ricky released two solo albums, one on Universal Records, and the other, an independent project. He travelled the world, working with various artists and industry professionals like, Nancy Wilson, Faith Hill, The Backstreet Boys, Lionel Ritchie, Luis Miguel, Dave Foster, Babyface, Aaron Neville, Diane Warren, and others.
Shireen and Ricky started families, coincidentally marrying their former spouses on the same day! Their love of music reconnected them some 20 plus years later, both divorced, both with new stories and songs in their hearts. They quickly fell in love and married, creating a big, beautiful, blended family.
They are now recording music together as Crutchfield Jones. With a full house, life gets chaotic at times, but it’s always full of fun, love and song. They released their first single and video ”You’re Not Here (A Christmas Song)” in 2020. The next single, ”Crazy A**” took off charting on several global charts on radio at #1 and Digital Radio Tracker also. Also the remix was released along with the video that create a buzz to expect more for the duo. The new single, ”Queen Appeal” is the ‘mash up of the year,’ produced by the genius mind of Ricky Jones along with Chad Alexander Wright and Carnell Harrell that captivates what is missing in R&B music today.
