Crystoria is a pursuing singer/songwriter originally from Ohio now residing in Nashville, Tn. The name comes from a blend of her first and middle name. Crystal meaning "pure", and Victoria meaning "victory". Together they make "Pure Victory", which is what we have in Jesus!
She is a mother of 4, and has been writing from the time she was 11. Originally being a place to journal and exercise her talent, songwriting became much more when she turned her heart to Christ as a teen. She knew God wanted her to use her talent and glorify Him in it, but she struggled finding her place in CCM at the time. She would eventually set it all aside to focus on current circumstances and raising 4 children. Though this was part of God's plan, there was always a part in her heart that felt missing. God would reunite her to songwriting many years later through some very hard trials in life.
Through the trials , God reminded her of the beautiful art of songwriting and what it was like to write a song on your heart, and just praise HIM. As she began writing more and more, God was bringing healing through the rough. As the healing came, she knew God wanted that healing for more than just her, but for so many others.
Unsure where God would lead next, she waited patiently while venturing into different endeavors. Little did she know, her businesses would lead her to where she is today.
In 2017 she was introduced to a ministry called Brave Worship through social media. God would use this group of ladies to inspire her in her time of waiting. This would be the place God would use to press her forward as she watched so many other writers like herself pursue their callings in the Christian Music Industry.
In 2020 God said it's time.
She would let all she had built up go, to see what God had in store. When she let go, God began opening doors. She would eventually Graduate from The Writing Worship Mentorship hosted by Krissy Nordhoff, which would propel her into cowriting with other artists and so much more!
God began to send more confirmations towards the end of 2020, and that was when she decided it was time to let the journey begin. Songs began to go to production, music began to be released, and many opportunities began to pour out.
The Journey still continues and unfolds the mysteries God has planned as she begins to continue to let God lead (into the now Christian Rock/Alternative territory), as well as open opportunities for her to be able to speak and minister for her heart towards those struggling with mental health, abuse, and addiction.
Over the past several years she has grown a passion for helping new artists and songwriters get familiar with presenting themselves on social media, and is now the founder of Songwriter Social an 8 week course to help artists through her endeavor Hott Promotions.
In November 2021 she won Best New Female Artist for 2021 for a Music Award Ceremony at the Foundations of Faith World Convention hosted by WVIU Web Radio and later won Songwriter on the Rise in 2022. In November 2023, she would later claim title Songwriter of the Year at WVIU.
2023 ended strong as her song Rise was found at #9 for the top songs of 2023 on Righteous Rock Radio, and 2024 brings new excitement as Rush landed her single Rush landed #1 on The Blast FM's "The Blast Blender's " Chart for the first week of the year.
Her upcoming project "The Unmasking", with producer Andrew Stanton from Disciple, began releasing April 12, 2024 with her song In the Silence.
