Krystal Meyers (born July 31, 1988) is an American Christian rock musician. She is the daughter of Rick Meyers, creator of the popular Bible study software e-Sword. She started writing songs by age 10 and was playing the acoustic guitar by 13, later releasing her self titled first album at age 16 in 2005. Her second album, "Dying for a Heart", was released on September 19th, 2006. Her music combines hard-edged rock with smooth acoustic melodies. Krystal has gathered acclaim for her ability to move from quiet soft-rock songs to fast-paced rock and roll anthems without a hitch.

Aside from positive Christian messages, her songs mainly focus on problems facing teens, such as peer pressure and pre-marital sex. She wrote 'Anticonformity' with the help of a friend while at a Christian summer camp before entering high school [ [http://www.musicfaith.com/Interviews/2 MusicFaith.com - Interview with Krystal Meyers] ] , and later published it on her self-titled album.

In early June 2008, the music video for "Make Some Noise", the first single from her third album, hit the internet. It shows a different direction in music, incorporating dance into her music. Her third album, also called Make Some Noise is expected to be released on September 9, 2008.

History


=" Krystal Meyers"=

Krystal's first album was a Pop/Rock album in the vein of Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavigne. It was released on June 7th 2005 in the US and on May 30 2006 worldwide. The album's lead single "The Way to Begin" charted at #1 on the Christian CHR Charts. Other singles "My Savior" and "Anticonformity" only peaked at #8 while "Fire" peaked at #9. The album peaked at #48 on Top Heatseekers and went Gold in Japan.

"Dying for a Heart"

Krystal Meyers' second album was released on September 19, 2006 in the US and on October 24, 2006 worldwide. The album was more edgy than her first album in musical style and in lyrics. This is most clearly seen in the song "The Situation" which openly opposes premarital sex. The album peaked at #19 on Top Heatseekers. Its first single "Collide" hit #6 on the Christian Rock Charts. The second single "The Beauty of Grace" hit #4 on the Christian CHR Charts and #2 in Japan. The third single did not do as well peaking only at #28 on the Christian Rock Charts.


="Make Some Noise"=

Meyers' third studio album released September 9, 2008 in the US and July 9, 2008 in Japan. The album is very different from her first two albums as she moves more into a pop dance realm with her songs. Krystal's lead single is called "Shine" and it so far has been charting well in the Christian CHR charts, as well as charting at #13 on the iTunes top Christian/Gospel songs chart. Other songs to be released in the album are "Make Some Noise," "Love It Away," and "My Freedom."

The entire album, plus an international version with a cover of "Sweet Dreams" can now be purchased at the iTunes Store.
