Crystal Sunshine
A self taught singer/songwriter/ pianist, has a musical style all her own...
“I’m not really sure what to call my style” laughs Sunshine.
“It ranges everything from blues, jazz, rock, Gothic yaw name it!”
“Maybe I’ll name it Bluesgothica!” Laughs Crystal.
Crystal was always fascinated with the piano and music starting at a very young
age.
I remember always hearing my older brothers listening to hard rock and loving it
and always dreaming of being a rock-star. I was so happy to get my first tape, being
Barbie and the rockers. Laughs Crystal.
I used to always play around on my grandmothers piano, at a young age, not
knowing what the hell I was doing, but I knew I was having fun!
Crystal Sunshine grew up in a middle class family In Houston Texas, moved to Lake
Jackson Texas around the age 10.
“I was always a bored restless kid; always feeling like a misfit, getting picked on
and shoved around” says Crystal.
“I used to always sit in the back of the class, with my head phones in middle school
and be listening to Guns and Roses or Metallica,then as I got older, I discovered
Tori Amos and it all made sense. Seeing her and hearing that redhead, I was blown
away and wished I could do that. Also Jeff Buckley’s voice is just heaven and
really influenced me a lot!
I was influenced by a lot of darker music too, like Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn
Manson. I really had to be a Marilyn Manson fan due to the fact that we come from
the same gene pool, we share, the same grandfather. “Right now, I’m totally
digging on Mike Patton, that mans voice should be cloned!
Crystal started really writing and performing her first songs at the age of 16.
“I’ve been doing this for years boys and girls” laughs Crystal.
“It’s been a long process of learning and growing, and finding my inner voice”
Crystal says. “It’s sometimes hard to be heard in such a noisy world!”
“Everything sounds the same, when it comes to a lot of music.” " I've really worked
hard to create my own sound", says Crystal.
Crystal’s personality; is kind of a laid back humors nature.
“I love to laugh and make others laugh” "But I do have my salty side, I've learned
not to let people take advantage of me, I will hit ya, if I have too". lol!
I really don't want people to know too much about me... I do music ...It has saved
my life! “One day you will figure out what a weirdo I am”.
After, striking up a long time friendship with producer Harold McFatter, CEO of
Showtime Records base in Nashville, Tn. Crystal released her debut album
September 1st 2008, on Showtime Records entitled “Nephilim Blood”. (Nephilim-
are offspring of human and angels mentioned in the bible). “I have always been
fascinated with the idea of haft human haft angelic beings” says Crystal. There is
a theory that people with RH blood are “Nephilims”.
In October 2009 Crystal resigned another three year record deal with Showtime
Records.
Crystal is now in the process of writing new material for her upcoming projects,
due to be released in 2010. Crystal is now in the studio with producer Harold
McFatter recording these new tunes. "So far the results are extremely awesome",
says Crystal. "I'm shifting gears in 2010, I'm hitting them with everything I got".
See ya....on the road!!!
