CRYSTAL KID
CRYSTAL KID
 *Tell us a story behind one of your songs*.

Let me see…our song ”Don’t Slow Me Down”, is about moving on when things have gotten stale in a relationship/friendship while taking that negative situation and turning it into a positive.

 *What do you listen to when you are at home?*

I listen to myself…and occasionally my brother who is also in the band.
 *Who or what has influenced your writing significantly?*

I grew up on pop music; the Rock and roll came in smaller doses later on. However, everyone in CRYSTAL KID cites the following bands as main influences: Oasis, U2, Aerosmith and Michael Jackson.

 *What highlight in your songwriting/performing could you share with us"

There isn’t a gig in particular that stands out In my mind, but I can honestly say that when trying to master songwriting – which by the way, is something that no one ever masters – the song that really turned the tide for us, was “In A Little While”.

 *What have you learned that you could pass on about songwriting/performing experience?
Work hard, and if you feel like you have accomplished something, work harder.

 *Any tips or advice you could give to songwriters?*

Be open-minded, and don’t rely on one specific music genre to get ideas flowing.

 *What plans or goals do you have for the next year?*

We hope to put out a successful full length on an international scale and tour tour, tour. *Cross fingers*

 *Where can we buy your CD?*

Our new E.P is available online at cdbaby.com, iTunes and in Calgary at Megatunes on 17th Ave and Sloth Records on 4th Street. Also, visit us at www.crystal-kid.com for updates on the band.
