Two years ago, The 34 year old Songbird of the Northwest could not have dreamed that The Master had such great things in store for her. She herself said this was not a part of her wildest imagination, But when the Tacoma, Washington RN was solicited by a stranger to audition for BET’s Sunday Best, she heeded the call, packed up her awesome talent, winning smile and beautiful personality – and the rest as they say is history. She took home the grand prize, a recording contract with Zomba Gospel and a 2008 Camry.
A church girl at heart, Crystal grew up in the pews of the Altheimer Memorial Church of God In Christ in Tacoma singing in the children’s Sunshine Band, which led to directing and of course more singing. These experiences allowed her to spread her wings to a local group called Heaven Sent Us and finally to Soul who at their pinnacle travelled extensively in the 90s and even got the privilege of showcasing at the GMWA. No talent was spared in undergirding the vocal talents of Miss Crystal Aikin as a bevy of heavyweight producers were solicited to produce this 10-song hymnal. Hailing from within and without the traditional “churched” genre one can find the writing wares of PAJAM, Kirk Franklin, Asaph Ward and Gerald Haddon. Her album is now available for purchase at blackgospel.com
