Crystal Murray at The Venue ATX
Born and raised in Paris, 22-year-old Crystal Murray was exposed to music young with a father, saxophonist, and her mother working in music production.
In 2020, her first EP "I Was Wrong" tipped the French-American musician as a mercurial star, expanding the boundaries of neo-soul – This led into her frenetic second EP, 2022’s 'Twisted Bases', where Crystal explores her themes deftly – messy relationships, her vulnerabilities, various personas tried on and divested in youth.
In 2024, Crystal is back with the single 'PAYBACK' a feminist warrior anthem leading the path for her upcoming debut album to be released this spring.
Crystal will be back on tour this year with already confirmed EU Festival dates this summer – she is a leave-it-all-on-stage performer. If you’ve caught any of her shows from Barcelona’s Sonar to Paris’ Rock En Seine, you’ll understand.
