Crystal Lewis
Crystal's musical career began at the very young age of four
when she sang in her father's church. After a few short years,
she had her first professional gig after landing a role in the
musical, "Hi-Tops." Her first album shortly followed.
In 1992, Crystal Lewis decided to bring her talents into the business
world and formed Metro One Music with her husband, Brian Ray.
They signed artists and soon created a reputation for the label
as one of originality, giving their artists the freedom to express
themselves musically in a way not yet accepted by the Christian
industry.
Soon after the label began, Crystal released Remember and joined
the cast of Nickelodeon's television program, "Roundhouse"
that same year. Following the recording of Remember, Lewis realized
God's desire for her to minister to the Latin community. She recorded
the Spanish version of Remember titled Recuerda. Recuerda was
the first of many Spanish albums she released. In 1996, Crystal
Lewis recorded her fourth album in Spanish, La Belleza de la Cruz,
which won her a Dove Award for Spanish Language Album of the Year
in 1998, the first award of it's kind. The following recording,
Oro, received the same Dove Award in 1999. The English versions
of these two albums, Beauty for Ashes and Gold, have collectively
sold nearly 1 million copies to date. Crystal Lewis is currently
putting together a collection of greatest hits for her sixth Spanish
release. It is titled La Coleccion, and will include several of
her biggest hits as well as four new songs from the new album
Fearless.
Crystal Lewis now resides in Southern California with her husband,
business partner and producer Brian Ray, and their two children.
She continues to pursue her calling of bringing the message of
hope, life, peace and love through the Gospel to as many people
as possible.
