  • Hometown: Atlanta, GA

Bio

Crystal has already made her mark in the music industry as a successful full-time songwriter. Crystal is the brains behind Rihanna's song "Only Girl (In the World)" and has written hits for Mariah Carey, Beyoncé and Monica, along with many others. Growing up, Crystal used songwriting as a form of therapy. As a small child, Crystal overcame years of domestic violence, and it got so bad one time that she and her sister called the police for help. That night resulted in her mother spending weeks in the hospital but making a full recovery. Sadly, Crystal's mother passed away five years ago from ovarian cancer but did have a chance to meet Crystal's now 5-year-old daughter, Haven. Haven is the light of Crystal's life, and she can't imagine a world without her.
