About 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.
