Welcome to the world of Krystatic, a 20 year old Midlands songwriter, performer and recording artist who began rapping in 2002 at the age of twelve. After listening to artists such as Biggie, 2Pac, Ludacris, LL Cool J and his favourite artist Nas, Chris Harvey aka Krystatic knew that Hip-Hop was the music he wanted to create and that the music industry is somewhere he felt he belonged. Coming from a strong musical family background, he began to start recording with his cousins Dezert Rhino and Rico Levant from True Fam Records where he recorded two underground promotional mixtapes entitled “The Next Big Thing Volume One” and “Luxury Life”. Both releases got his name out locally where he began to build a strong fanbase and create a real buzz in the streets and local radio. At the start of 2009 Krystatic found out about a local talent competition called ‘Wolves Top Talent’. He auditioned and got through with ease and went all the way to the semi-finals, which again added to his local appeal. Krystatic was already known as a good songwriter and recording artist, but now he was also known as a man who could easily tear up a stage with an electrifying performance. After deep thought and a better vision to how his music was being received, Krystatic decided it was time to step it up and unleash a full length debut solo album. Recording commenced in the summer of 2009 where he enlisted the help of some of the Midland’s best producers from Tru Fam Records such as Dezert Rhino, Rico Levant, S.X and Smiffey. This would be the start of something real… this would be the start of Krystatic. “Stepping Out The Box” is a fifteen track audio journey that gives the listener time to absorb all the various styles to this talented artist. Krystatic is a positive artist unleashing his thoughts and opinions on life in the UK and living in the inner cities. Expect to hear him drop science on various topics including the credit crunch and the worldwide recession, family, relationships, life in his home town, loyalty, dedication, self motivation and much more, all delivered in his own unique style and swagger. Already Krystatic is causing a buzz with various tastemakers and is ready to set the world alight his bars of fire. Krystatic has arrived and is here to inject some positivity into a scene that is currently dominated by negative music.
