As sixteen year-old Krystal Meyers prepares to release her self-titled debut album on June 7, the buzz is coming from all directions: radio, retail and music lovers alike.
Krystal's first single, "The Way To Begin," soared to No. 1 on R&R's CHR radio chart where it has stayed steadily for three weeks. The single also continues to climb R&R's Rock radio chart, where it is currently at No. 6.
"Krystal was something that I was looking for specifically - a girl who rocks," said Scott Veigel, program director KXWA-Denver.
Meyers' debut will be featured at retail stores this summer on the multi-artist "Buy It Now" promotion, which is an instant $5.00 coupon for 12 of today's best-selling titles, including Joy Williams' Genesis and Jars of Clay's Redemption Songs.
"This is a unique album that delivers high energy music," comments Joel Bramwell, buying manager for Christian Suppy of Portland, Oregan. "Krystal's sound and message strongly represent the customers that frequent our stores. We're anticipating great things from this artist at the retail level."
Currently on the road with label mate Day of Fire, Krystal will soon announce tour plans for summer and fall.
"Krystal has made a tremendous impact on the road with crowds and promoters," said Tony Johnsen, agent, CAA. "This girl keeps the audience on its feet and rocking. Spring has been strong for Krystal and she isn't stopping. We can expect big things from this show in the future."
Watch for Krystal's upcoming features this summer in BRIO, CCM Magazine, Campus Life, Christianity Today, and HM Magazine. You can also catch her on TV-U and hosting her own video countdown on the Gospel Music Channel.
