Crystal Jones Crystal Robinson was born in Baton Rougue, Lousiania with four others brothers. Her mother, Ashley and father, John raised the family thought hardship. But raised the family in the country where Crystal got in touch deeply with having music escape the harsh reality of the world. Crystal was often a outsider, her looks didnt get her so much attention. Crystal was a quiet girl with big dreams, raised to show to people respect. Crystal dad's had a emotional breakdown when the family went completly broke from from one of John's business investments. The family was raised in a three bedroom home, where Ashley's grandmother paid the bills. After Ashley's grandmother passed away of cancer, the family's income went down and had to move to a one bedroom apartment in Lousiania. The strugglies of the family, trying to eat and putting food on the table. Crystal's older brother, Mike will have to watch the younger ones while Tonya and John worked late nights, also on the line of getting a divorce, after getting married before having Mike. Crystal's auntie, Marylin was a jazz and blues singer down in New Orleans. She played the piano and the guiter, an struggling jazz artist. Marylin will take Crystal away from the boys on weekends and take Crystal to the open mics sessions where Marylin will perform her music.
Crystal, at age six will sit in the back room to listen to the singers and Marylin saw the early passion of music she had. Crystal will give shows in the back, dancing around the club, acting as if she was singing. Grabbing hands, pulling them on stage. You show happiness when Crystal heard music, expect sadness when she will have to hear fights from her parents and being the only girl from a family of boys. One night, Marylin pulled Crystal on stage to sing a old classic jazz song that Crystal knew because Ashley will always play it. Crystal ran up the stairs, her little white dress flying in the air and started to sing just like the strong voiced blues singers, sounding so hip and powerful just at the age of nine. How she will move her body so smooth- feeling the music.
Crystal will always walk around the stage, shaking her shoulders like Tina Turner does when she performs. That was once, and after that moment Crystal discovered the hidden talent, Crystal always wanted to be around music. Traveling with Marylin, Marylin started to raise Crystal after the age of ten in Lake Charles, Lousiania where Marylin taught Crystal how to sing and play the piano. Crystal grew with music as music grew with her. Crystal started to perform around Lousiania with jazz, RNB and pop songs, being a little girl, dancing and shaking, moving around that stage, singing her heart out, loving the energy the audience gave her- she was a true performer...
At the age of 12, Crystal decided to become a performer. At age 16, she was choosen to be a dancer in a broadway musicial where she met the rest of the girls and saw the talent in them and wanted to start the group The Automantics. Edited by user 13 November 2011 04:04:57(UTC)
