Krystal Meyers Prepares New Album, Becomes Sensation in Japan

Popular 17-year-old Christian artist Krystal Meyers has become a sensation in Japan.

Since the U.S. release of her self-titled debut album on Essential Records, Meyers has garnered a Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year, had three Top 10 singles (“The Way To Begin”, “My Savior”, and “Anticonformity”), and performed before more than 400,000 people.

And aside from being on the cover of Nylon and Bounce magazines, she knocked the Red Hot Chili Peppers from the top slot to achieve her first No. 1 single in Japan.

The teenage rocker is now readying for her sophomore album Dying for a Heart, which will be in stores Sept. 19.

Her hit single, “Anticonformity,” was a powerful anthem that encouraged others to buck trends and embrace their individuality. Krystal quickly gained a reputation as an artist whose musical talent was underscored by her conviction.

As she began writing songs for her sophomore album, her approach was simple. “I wanted this to be God’s words, not my own,” she says. “I want God to be speaking through my music. So I stepped back and prayed about it. I surrendered the whole writing process to God.”
