About CRYS
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My first concert was Kirk Franklin. I got to meet him after, and I swore I'd never wash that hand! (I've washed it since then) My 1st CD- Home (the Chicks), my 1st tape- I Hope You Dance (Lee Ann Womack). Those helped shaped my heart and songs.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Fall Out Boy, From Under the Cork Tree Lee Ann Womack, I Hope You Dance SZA, Ctrl It kills me to only pick 3! The albums I chose had immense influence @ diff points in my life, & I know every single word. IHYD - how deep love reaches, and how it feels to be left. FUTCT - rock out, talk shit, leave. Ctrl - vulnerability and vocals!
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I played a local outdoor fest, wearing big red heart-shaped sunglasses. A girl in the audience had just turned 12, & I saw her gathering her confidence to come up + tell me she wanted to be like me. I gave her the shades - they looked better on her!
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I'm excited to play Afropunk festival in the future! I'd love to play an NPR Tiny Desk as well. Eventually I will open a mixed use space that is venue, tea house, and holistic yoga studio.
