- (1888PressRelease) October 25, 2010 - Toronto, ON - Montreal based songstress Krystale is readying the release of her self-titled, debut album Krystale (Whammo Music / DEP / Universal Music) on October 26, 2010. After a busy year of writing and recording in the studio, the 19-year old artist is ready to share her melodic multi-genre sound with her audience.
Krystale's songs are immediate and thought provoking, laced with delicate chords and a full-bodied acoustic guitar. They invite you into her space and experience a soulful delivery that is beyond her years; these well-crafted songs are ready for a big stage.
"There is a message in every song that is expressed through feelings of liberation and frustration," says Krystale "My life is dedicated to music, and I hope to touch listeners with my lyrics."
Born and raised in Montreal to a musical family, her mother playing the bass guitar and her father playing the drums, Krystale grew up listening to an assortment of music influenced by her parents. Her Dominican born mother would play genres such as merengue, salsa and dance and through her father she found an introduction to metal and rock n' roll. With encouragement from her family, Krystale soon developed a taste for performing, and at the tender age of 12, first showcased her talents with a live band. Since then, she has been playing for audiences across the province.
Rare for an artist so young, her display of raw emotion can be heard throughout her debut and in particular on the first single Where You End I Begin, co written with Tino Inzo (Celine Dion, Yuno Ito). This song finds Krystale coming into her own through empowerment and triumph. "I try to stay away from writing songs that make me feel like a victim or full of self pity," explains Krystale on her writing process. Other songs on the album reflect on the world today such as Smile to Sell and its message to women in society. The Traffic shares feelings of overcoming obstacles.
Krystale's dedication to playing live is no secret. In 2009, she performed as a guest start in the finals of GLOBAL's Can Your School Rock and in the same year, opened for Michel Pagliaro to an audience of 10,000 people for La Fete de St-Jean. Krystale has also contributed to an African Mission fundraiser by performing and helping raise over $10,000 to help the less fortunate, also doing so by playing several times with her band on CTV's Telethon of the Stars.
Krystale will be available online via iTunes and all major digital retailers.
