Houston based Pop/Soul recording artist, Kristal Cherelle opened for Lauryn Hill, was nominated for Houston Press ‘Best Vocalist’ award, Hard Rock Rising Houston battle of bands winner, and sang the National Anthem for the Houston Rockets Feb 9, 2018. Her anthem performance video caught fire, currently at 26K views and counting.

Here's her story:
Kristal entrenched herself in music for most of her life. She was singing before she was able to speak and writing songs ever since she received her first keyboard at age 7.

Born in Jacksonville Florida, raised in Talbotton, Georgia and Idabel, Oklahoma, she’s no stranger to small southern towns. Even so, she was singing as if she had a whole stadium before her--even when there wasn't many around to hear her. 

She went on to study music in her college years where she picked up her first guitar at age 19. Upon graduating, she took that guitar and found her way professionally within the Houston live music scene in 2012 and has been exploring and growing ever since. After getting her feet wet with her debut melancholy album, Fighter released with NoisePodium Records in 2014, she received awards and opportunities. During this time, she took a hiatus from recording and focused solely on performing live and bridging the gap between her love for pop, r&b, hip hop, and soul music.

The Wait Is Over

Kristal Cherelle meshes the art of soulful storytelling with the fun-filled expression of pop and hip-hop in her new free-spirited single, ‘Free in the Night’ a part of her new project, #PopSoul to be released in the Fall of 2018.
