GLOBAL APPEAL
Sierra de Cristal Exposicin Global, Entusiasmo Con experiencia
Born in the bosom of a Colombian family settled in the U.S., singer/songwriter Crystal Sierra attended Baltimore's High School for the Performing Arts after being seduced by pop music. Crystal has been singing since the age of 5 and never thought of being anyone else but a singing, Super Star sensation. She was convinced of her chance to become a professional, and soon obtained a scholarship to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Crystal Sierra started her singing career while joining a female threesome group called Hands-On in which she named on Dr. Dres label Aftermath/I nterscope Records. She co-wrote the groups single, deciding to go on her own in 1999, signing up to Virgin Records, that same year. "Playa No More" became her first single, released in October of 2000, followed by Crystal Sierra's debut album, called Morena, an interesting mixture of urban sounds and Latin rhythms.
In a music world filled with derivatives, she stands apart, a singer/songwriter who melds pop with the infectious flavor of Latin rhythms drawn from her own roots. Indeed, Crystal Sierras Morena CD is a sizzling tour-de-force, a creative exploration into charted territory and at the same time, a record with undoubted appeal to mainstream, urban, Latin and pop music buyers alike.
Standout cuts like Hold Me Down (produced by Like Santander and Steve Morales) and To Fit In (based on La Murga , an 80s hit by Willie Colon, produced by Cuban brothers Richard and Nelson Marquez) has a strong autobiographical slant for Crystal Sierra, who contributed all of her songwriting skills to all but one of the albums eleven songs. I decided to fuse Cumbia and vallenato to the pop world. Hold Me Down is my way of asking the world to embrace me and my music. As for To Fit In, well, I come from a racially mixed family- my father is from Colombia and my mother is American. I grew up speaking English and would go to Miami to see my Colombian family members and some only spoke Spanish. I questioned where I fit in and this is a great song that many people can relate to. Ive performed in in Major Venues opening for Jay-Z even and I could see people crying in the audience.
Crystal Sierra brings not only her background as a trained musician, but also her experiences in dealing with the challenges of starting a career as a recording artist and performer. Its been quite a journey, I was five when I received my first microphone, she recalls with a grin. It was orange colored and it was called Mr. Microphone. All I wanted to do was sing not play with dolls but grab dads albums of Celia Cruz, Grupo Niche, Stevie Wonder and so many other artist.
Innately drawn to singing, Crystal Sierra auditioned to enter Baltimore School for the Arts and there she met Tupac Shakur and became close friends with other friends who became celebrities as well. It was like a Fame type of school. I was an honor student and studied ear training, classical music in German and French and studied voice and ear training. It was intense.
A hard earned scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, gave Crystal Sierra her first opportunity to stretch out and begin shaping her own musical terrain. While going to Berklee I started to tune in to more of my Latin roots when a band approached me to sing in their Latin Band. I tuned in even more when I visited Miami and Colombia in the summer and absorbed a lot of the music there- the Cumbia and Vallenato styles lived in my head she notes.
Since Virgin Records, Crystal has taken a hiatus from the music business to spend with family and write music and study more t.v. and film.
Im now ready to create new music and add some of my Morena album to those new songs and to pick up where I left off like never before. I look forward to seeing all of you

PETICIN GLOBAL
Nacido en el pecho de una familia colombiana se instal los Estados Unidos, la Sierra de cantante/compositor de canciones Crystal asisti a la Escuela Secundaria de Baltimore para las Artes de Realizacin siendo seducido por la msica pop. El cristal ha estado cantando desde la edad de 5 y nunca pens ser alguien ms, pero un canto, la sensacin de Estrella Sper.

La Sierra de Cristal comenz su carrera de canto afilindose a un grupo de grupo de tres femenino llamado Prctico en que ella llam en la etiqueta de doctor Dre Aftermath/I nterscope Archivos.

"La playa No Ms" se la hizo primero solo, liberado en el octubre de 2000, seguido del lbum de debut de la Sierra de Cristal, llamado Morena, una mezcla interesante de sonidos urbanos y ritmos latinos.
En un mundo de msica lleno de derivados, ella se destaca, un cantante/compositor de canciones que melds hacen reventar con el sabor infeccioso a ritmos latinos dibujados de sus propias races. En efecto, el CD Morena de la Sierra de Cristal es un chisporroteo tour-de-force, una exploracin creativa en el territorio charted y al mismo tiempo, un registro con peticin indudable a dominante, urbano, latino y compradores de msica pop igualmente.
Los cortes de Standout como Me dominan (producido por Santander Parecido y Steve Morales) y Para Caber En (basado en La Murga, unos aos 80 golpeados por el Colon Willie, producido por hermanos cubanos Richard y Nelson Marquez) tiene una inclinacin autobiogrfica fuerte para la Sierra de Cristal, quin contribuy todas sus habilidades songwriting a todos excepto una de las once canciones del lbum. Decid fundir Cumbia y vallenato al mundo de msica pop. Domneme es mi modo de pedir al mundo abrazar m y mi msica. "En Cuanto" "a" Caber En, pues vengo de una familia racialmente variada - mi padre es de Colombia y mi madre es el americano. Yo crec diciendo el ingls e ira a Miami para ver a mis miembros de familia colombianos y unos slo dijeron el espaol. Pregunt donde quepo en y este es una gran cancin con la cual muchas personas pueden estar relacionadas. He funcionado en en Locales Principales que me abren para el Arrendajo-Z hasta y yo podra ver a la gente gritar en el auditorio.
La Sierra de Cristal trae no slo su fondo como un msico entrenado, sino tambin sus experiencias en relacin con los desafos de comenzar una carrera como un artista de grabacin y ejecutante. Esto ha sido un viaje verdadero, yo tena cinco aos cuando recib mi primer micrfono, recuerda ella con una sonrisa. Esto era la naranja coloreada y fue llamado "Sr. Microphone". Todo que quise hacer era cantan no juegan con muecas, pero agarran lbumes de paps de Celia Cruz, Lugar de Grupo, Stevie Wonder y tanto otro artista.
De manera innata dibujado al canto, Sierra de Cristal auditioned para entrar en Escuela de Baltimore para las Artes y all ella encontr Tupac Shakur y se hizo amigos ntimos con otros amigos que se hicieron famosos tambin. Pareci a un tipo de Fama de la escuela. Yo era un estudiante de honor y estudi la formacin de odo, msica clsica en alemn y francs y estudi la formacin de odo y la voz. Era intenso.
Una beca ganada difcil al Colegio Berklee prestigioso de la Msica en Boston, dio a Sierra de Cristal su primera oportunidad de estirar y comenzar a formar su propio terreno musical. Mientras yendo a Berklee comenc a sintonizar a ms de mis races latinas cuando una cinta se acerc a m para cantar en su Cinta latina. Sintonic hasta ms cuando visit Miami y Colombia en el verano y absorb mucha msica all - los estilos de Vallenato y Cumbia vividos en mi cabeza ella nota.
Desde Archivos Vrgenes, el Cristal ha tomado un hiato del negocio de msica para gastar con la familia y escribir la msica y el estudio ms t.v. y pelcula.
Estoy listo ahora a crear la nueva msica y aadir un poco de mi lbum Morena a aquellas nuevas canciones y recoger donde no acab nunca antes. Tengo ganas de ver a todos ustedes
