Artist description Crystal Mendoza , who currently resides in San Jose, Ca., is only 18 years old and just recently Graduated from High School. Although Cyrstal doesn’t come from any musical background, it was clear early on, that She had talent. Before she even started the first grade, her mother would often find Crystal singing to her favorite songs on the radio. Crystal’s mother noticed that she was vocally independent and resembled some of the Artists’ pitch! Over the next few years her mother encouraged her to keep singing and practicing as much as she can because she had a special talent. The rest was history. Crystal sang at any chance she could get just to share her love for music with all that was around her. Crystal eventually found her passion and love in singing, songwriting, and performing. Crystal’s strengths are her ability to sing a song from the heart and deliver it with meaning. Hence she takes the lyrical aspect of songwriting very seriously. Her influences range from the soulful sounds of Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder, to the Pop crafted sounds of Madonna. Although she sees herself first and foremost as a performer, Crystal Anell, also writes and composes melodic pieces to accompany any sound. This makes her an incredible threat in the Music Industry of today where the advantages of a self-contained artist are obvious. In the upcoming Millenium (2001), Crystal plans to finally make her dreams of success in the Music Business a reality. After relentless hours of vocal practices, dance rehearsals, writing, and honing her craft to near perfection – Crystal Mendoza is ready to step forward and be heard!!!
