Chrystal is a vocalist with a background in classical and choral training, performing in select and honor choirs from her teenage years through college and beyond. Her musical foundation spans soprano and alto ranges, giving her a versatile vocal style shaped by years of ensemble and performance experience.

While rooted in classical technique, Chrystal is drawn to the intimacy of jazz, R&B, and atmospheric, softer sounds. Her voice is sultry and understated, warm and lounge-like with a subtle rasp and an occasional fiery edge.

Inspired by artists including Lana Del Rey, Amy Winehouse, FKA twigs, and Lady Gaga, Chrystal gravitates toward music that is emotive, unconventional, sensual, and expressive. Her approach to music mirrors her visual art practice: less about fitting neatly within a genre and more about creating a mood, telling a story, and making the listener feel something.
