About Me

Bio:
Crystal McGrath, the sensational singer/songwriter from Vancouver, British Columbia is fast becoming a household name in the music industry. With her beautiful vocals and the natural glow of her personality, she has been conquering the stage and gaining popularity. She travels between Canada and the United States on a regular basis. Atlanta, Georgia is where she spends most of her time in the studio writing new music and rehearsing for shows in the United States. Working with an array of talented producers her new album will surely impress all audiences. By appealing to a diverse audience Crystal has begun to blur the lines between genres as she is taking her music to new heights. Performing all over North America, Ms. McGrath has developed into a true star. The rest of the world will soon get to know Crystal’s infectious personality as she takes her talents abroad in 2007.
Dedicating her life to serve those in need, Crystal has joined forces with the well recognized American Foundation, Toys For Tots. Not one to keep herself rooted in just one cause, Crystal has a special place in her heart for Toy Mountain as well. Toy Mountain is a Canadian Foundation that provides for children during the holiday season also. As a performer, spokes person and volunteer, Crystal will be touching the lives of many all through the Holiday Season. This year, Crystal wrote a song to be used as a tool to help those in need. The song “Christmas Everyday” was written to benefit Toys For Tots. “Christmas Everyday” is a holiday song that will be with us forever and all the lives that it touches will know that it was written with love from the heart. Crystal was the featured performer for the Kick-Off of the Toys For Tots holiday drive in Atlanta, Georgia. The event was held at the historic State Capitol Building. With a capacity crowd on hand, Crystal mesmerized the audience with two songs. She lead off the event with soon to be released single “Walking Away”, then conclude the program with “Christmas Everyday.”
During her teenage years Crystal was selected to perform in the Youth Singers of Calgary. While performing with the Youth Singers, Crystal was able to perform at various venues in her home town of Calgary, Alberta and the prestigious stage at Disneyland. While performing at Disneyland, she was recognized by many in the music industry. Crystal embraced the success that she was having and looked to take her voice world wide. As the Youth Singers rose to national prominence, Crystal showed her talents to a diverse audience aboard the renown Carnival Cruise Lines as they sailed from port to port.
At an early age it was evident that Crystal McGrath was naturally gifted. Specializing in guitar and piano she has carved a niche in the music industry. Crystal was often performing on her own grand stage in her bedroom. The mirror was her audience and the reflection of her presence confirmed what she was feeling inside. It was destined that she would take flight as a future star while performing in her elementary school choir. With hard work and determination Crystal has taken her early childhood development and has become a sensational artist today. Discovering her own voice and letting it shine without trying to conform to other female contemporaries, she has stayed true to her creative convictions.
Experiencing travel during her youth, Crystal has had no fear in taking on challenges wherever they may come from. Recently relocated from Calgary, Alberta to Canada’s music hot spot, Vancouver British Columbia, she has begun the next phase of her career. Writing and Recording her soon to be released album, Crystal has opened her heart and soul to share with her fans. In March 2006, Crystal McGrath teamed up with producer Ryan Hauschild. Together they created magic while compiling a masterful ensemble of songs. Those close to her music have said, “ Crystal wanted to create music that was catchy, but easy to listen to. She wanted to be able to tell stories that had meaning for all to enjoy.” After being introduced at the 2006 Billboard Dance Music Summit in Las Vegas Nevada Crystal captivated the capacity audience while on stage. Billboard and music industry executives found her to be a talented and professional artist.
Crystal’s worldly experiences have allowed her to gain a unique perspective of music’s impact on societies. She is the latest talented Canadian artist to hit the music scene and soon will be rising up the charts as a household name. Although she is from Canada, Atlanta, GA, USA has become her home away from home. Crystal’s talents will be on display for all the world to see as she sets out on tour in 2007. Make sure that you join in on the excitement that she will be providing for years to come.
