ABOUT CRYSTAL LEIGH
Crystal Leigh looks at every day as a balance; taking in the good, the bad, and finding the beauty that lives in between. For the Nashville-based singer-songwriter, Crystal’s bright energy and passion for life is rooted in the belief that things happen as they are supposed to and, as she puts it, “I’m gonna get where I’m gonna get, when I need to get there”. Motivated by optimism, thoughtfulness, and dedicated faith, her soulful melodies and lyrics are honest Americana.
Growing up in Southern California, Crystal was raised in a vibrant musical household. Her dad’s band would frequently hold practices at their home, often letting Crystal sit in while they would wait for the lead singer to arrive. In contrast to her sweet nature, taking center stage emboldened her, revealing a raw confidence and love for performing. In the eclectic community of Santa Barbara, she was exposed to a vast variety of artists, cultures, and sounds, which have been interwoven into her style as a songwriter.
For Crystal, the devotion to her faith has always been the foundation on which she builds her life and creates her art. While her music is inspired by the experiences, challenges, and milestones of her story, her spirituality is an integral component of her identity as an artist. She approaches her songwriting with the knowledge that both success and missteps can offer lessons and opportunity, and life isn’t meant to be ruled by fear. Her artful storytelling is an authentic reflection of how she navigates her life: appreciating the past, but always moving forward with purpose. With a soft demeanor matched by a bold sense of conviction, Crystal’s voice is influential, captivating, and rare.
Her vocals exude a melodic warmth and heartfelt timbre - paying tribute to the musical influences of her life, from the classics of Linda Rondstadt and The Eagles, to modern icons, like Kacey Musgraves. Her notable sound is a delightful blend of light-hearted spirit and genuine intention, which parallels the journey she’s travelled so far. Her music carries the excitement for what’s to come and limitless possibilities of what tomorrow has in store.
