Crystal ReidΒ is a wife to one, a mother of two, a sister and a friend. She is also a singer, performer, songwriter and most importantly, a lover of God. Born on the beautiful island of Jamaica,Β CrystalΒ grew up in St. Catherine but moved to Kingston at age 17. She has been singing since the age of two and did her first real performance at the tender age of twelve, while at her grade six graduation at the White Marl Primary and Junior High School.
She considers herself a product of purpose, greatness and love, because she has passed through so many ABCβs (Abused, Belittlement and chastisement) in life, that the only reason she is still standing is because of Godβs grace. Music plays a key role inΒ Crystal‘s life as it helps her to release stress, remain calm through any situation and draws her closer to God. Most of her music is a testament of what God has brought her through and what He is currently doing in her life.
Her discography includes:Β βThank you LordβΒ andΒ βJesus lover of my soul,βrecorded in October, 2015, with production credits for both songs going to Cameron Browne; βThou Art Holy,β which was released earlier this year (produced by Emmanuel Mike) andΒ βIβm not giving up,βΒ a record done in collaboration with gospel recording artist Keesa Peart, which is all about abuse and disappointments she suffered asΒ a youth growing up in Jamaica.Β CrystalΒ is currently in the process of producing her first debut album which is entitledΒ βThank you Lord.β
This is whatΒ Crystal ReidΒ has to say about her career as a recording artist to date:Β ”I started recording for my own benefit and gratification, however the Lord told me this is not the case and that this will be used to glorify HIM alone. I am an oracle for Jesus Christ and will continue to lift up the blood-stained banner as I spread the good news.”Β
