"Ghettos by design" is the second solo album from the Canadian guitar hero Ian Crichton (b. August 3rd 1956).

Born in the town of Oakville, Ian and his big brother Jim Crichton early learned to handle the strings. At first Ian played the bass and Jim the guitar, but they soon changed. In 1977 Ian founded the world famous progressive rock band Saga together with his big brother Jim Crichton, lead singer Michael Sadler, drummer Steve Negus and Keyboard player Peter Rochon.

His great skills were quickly recognised by the music world and he has been used as a session/studio musician for several bands such as "Asia", Any day now", "The Alchemist" and "Michael Sadler".
