   About Crystal McKee

Buy at iTunes



Crystal McKee is a singer/songwriter musician with a folk, soft pop acoustic style similar to Sarah Mclachlan, Jewel, Lisa Loeb, and other artists alike. She specializes in the "Female songwriter niche" and her live entertainment performances include covers of popular tunes such as "Angle" Sarah Mclachlan, "I Do" Lisa Loeb, "Foolish Games" Jewel, and many more as well as poppy tunes like "Happy Together" by The Turtles and "Different Drum" by Linda Ronstandt.

She credits her natural ability to develop melody from being surrounded by music since birth. She attended her mother's orchestra concerts and rehearsals from an infant. "I Grew up with a family of musicians who gigged and played Classical, Swing, and Jazz. I was the child in the back who was usually dancing or trying to do something creative" Fascinated with music she began singing and writing songs at a young age. Her father gave her a beige Fender Strat guitar and she immediately took it to a friend who showed her just 3 chords. Then she started writing songs that same week.

Crystal got her start at open mics. She says it all started there and has built a network of friends in music just from playing every week. She says the practice she got from being committed to playing open mics on a regular bases has made her grow as a musician and performer.

As Crystal grew in maturity so did her talent. After many performances and many unofficial demo recordings of her music, she released her self produced independent debut album “Take Me Away”, and immediately after won an award for “Best Pop Rock Artist” as well as a nomination in the “Best Song” category for her song “Run” at the 2008 IE Music Awards.

She has gigged frequently at places such as Borders Book Stores, Shopping malls, Festivals, Market Nights and many coffee houses throughout southern California.

She’s also the founder of the “SoCal Female Acoustic Showcase” a showcase that features some of the best female talent in Southern California. Crystal is currently working hard on her next album. She can be seen performing frequently in the Inland Empire area.

Gods Prodigy -  2009 Middle GA Gospel Idol WINNER



Oct 21 2009 11:04 PM

Hi Ma'am

Thanks for the Add - I am a 14 year old Christian artist (God's Prodigy) that is representing for the Lord. God has given me a gift and I am going to use it to draw as many people as I can to him. Please help me in doing so, Spread The Word of the Lord – We all must die some day, so choose the Lord now while you can.
My Goal is to let the teens, both young and old know that it is cool to live for God and the Smart decision to make in life.

Can You Help Me Achieve My Goal?

I just released my new cd “PUSH THE DEVIL BACK” and that is exactly what we have to do when temptation, lust, or hate get in our face. Any time you have or hear of an event in your area that is promoting the Lord, I would love to perform or speak. I have performed at several churches, street corners, and youth festivals.

Stop by and listen anytime and listen how he has blessed me. Take Care of yourself and be blessed.
-- God's Prodigy

Please support!!! My NEW CD “PUSH THE DEVIL BACK” is on sale NOW!
