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 Sunshine.
Sunshine was always fascinated with the piano and music starting at a very young age.
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 Sunshine.
“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!
Sunshine started really writing and performing her first songs at the age of 16.
“I’ve been doing this for years boys and girls” laughs Sunshine
“It’s been a long processed of learning and growing, and finding my inner voice”
Sunshine 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.”
Sunshine’s personality; is of a laid back kind humors nature.
“I love to laugh and make others laugh”
