Krystal Renée
With a career spanning 10 countries worldwide and at least 25 states across the U.S., Krystal Renée is an artist whose high-energy performances have been mesmerizing audiences for over a decade. For seven years, she performed with Off-Broadway’s “STOMP,” an internationally acclaimed theater performance. Soon after, this multidisciplinary artist returned to her most sacred, tireless work – cementing her place as a singer/songwriter in the rock music scene.
Born of Guyanese and Nigerian descent, this native New Yorker challenges the alt-rock sector to take on a uniquely distinct sound rarely heard in the genre today. With an unapologetic vibrato, deeply soulful timbre, and effortless whistle register, Renée’s voice will intrigue you while her lyrics tell stories of adversities her smile may never reveal. The undeniable passion and tenacity her fans compliment derive at least partially from the difficult challenges she has overcome. These “gifts” (as she calls them), have only strengthened her resilience.
Inspired heavily by the grungy tones of the early 2000s period, Renée cites influences such as Evanescence, Seether, P!nk, Tool, and Paramore. As front-woman of her self-started band, she started recording under the evolved name ‘WhoisKrystal’ and when the band split amicably in 2019, began branching out to work independently with several heavy-hitting producers. Renée signed to a commercial agency in the spring of 2024, and continues to release music on top streaming platforms.
