She spent her early years of bouncing on her bed singing Shania Twain, playing with a toy guitar, and singing songs she had written to her dog. She began performing in local venues and showcases in middle and high school, even majoring in Music Therapy in College. Krystal is a strong believer in the power of music to heal hearts and communities. Because of this belief, Krystal works PRN as a psychiatric music therapist.

Continuing to work as an independent artist, Krystal has big plans for the future as she continues to work on honing her songwriting, stage presence, and developing her sound.
