Krystal is the daughter of Rick Meyers (creator of the popular Bible study software e-Sword). She started singing around her home at the age of two, sang her first solo in church at the age of five, started writing songs by age ten and was playing the acoustic guitar by thirteen, later releasing her self titled first album "Krystal Meyers" at age sixteen in 2005. Her second album, "Dying For A Heart", was released on September 19, 2006 and her third "Make Some Noise" was released on September 9, 2008 and was later used by NBC in promoting its fall 2008 line-up. and a sampling of her music was used on ABC's high-impact Sunday-Night Lineup.
Born in California, she and her family later moved to Eugene Oregon (where her brother Josh was born), and when she was six she and her family moved from there to Franklin, Tennessee, a Nashville suburb.
While at Barefoot Republic youth camp, at the age of fourteen, before entering the ninth grade, she wrote "Anticonformity" (the song she says got her started) with a friend, Hannah Dwinell. When she entered the ninth grade she says she saw her peers falling into drugs and sex and then "anticonformity" became "really real" to her: [What's important is "becoming the person God wants you to be and refusing to become the person that the world wants you to be...and to pursue the plan that God has for you... I know exactly what you're going through... I just want to encourage you."
Krystal signed with Essential Records for her self-titled album, "Krystal Meyers", from which came four top ten singles on the U.S. Christian charts. Working with CCM artist and producer Ian Eskelin and the Wizard of Oz production team, her song, "Anticonformity" became the number one pop single in Japan.
Krystal writes songs that include positive Christian messages with words to strengthen and encourage. Some of her songs also focus on problems facing teens, such as peer pressure and pre-marital sex. Her earlier albums (Krystal Meyers and Dying For A Heart) combined alternative rock with Christian values and life lessons but in early June, 2008, when the music video for "Make Some Noise" (the first single from her third album) hit the Internet, the "sound" had grown in a different direction, incorporating Dance Pop into her music: "Krystal says, "It's a fun album. It's new. It's different... stylistically from what I had been doing before. It's kind of more of a... 80's pop, disco esque, European dance kind of album."
Make Some Noise Album
"Make Some Noise" (CD) is Meyers' third studio album released September 9, 2008 in the US and July 9, 2008 in Japan; making its world-wide Internet video premier on Yahoo Music on July 10, 2008.The album is very different from her first two albums as she moves more into a pop dance realm with her songs. Krystal's lead single is called "Shine" and it charted well in the Christian CHR charts, as well as charting at #13 on the iTunes top Christian/Gospel songs chart. Other songs released from the album are "Make Some Noise", the title track, "Love It Away", and "My Freedom". The "Make Some Noise" album is also available in an iTunes Worldwide Deluxe Edition with eleven individual songs (including "Sweet Dreams", a bonus song) and three additional versions of "Make Some Noise" (song) where the chorus is in Indonesian, Mandarin and Thai (for a total of fourteen songs). Also included is a "Make Some Noise" (Video) Digital Booklet.
