CriStyle Renae - Biography
Soul. Passion. Power.
Singer/Songwriter CriStyle Renae embodies them all. The South Florida native’s
magnetic vocals are infused with a special soulfulness…and it comes naturally.
R&B/Soul has been in her musical “DNA” for as long as she can remember. “I
was the baby of the family by 10 years, so I was able to absorb the music of my
parents and my older siblings. I was listening to a little of everything.” Her
love of music spans back to childhood where she was largely influenced by
legends like Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, Donny Hathaway, The Isley Brothers
and Isaac Hayes. She realized her talent at the age of 6, as her older brother
would coax her to mimic current artists of the time. From then on, she knew she
had something special. Over the years she has honed her talent to become an
artist who reflects the same love, light and warmth that her vocals resonate.
CriStyle relishes the connection formed between an artist and the audience. She
loves to perform live. “Performing is a communion, a sharing of energy and
love. There is nothing like being able to fully express your art, give the
audience a piece of you and receive their energy back”, she relates.
Her debut album, Signature of
Love, highlights everything from the ups and downs of relationships to anthems
of self-love and upliftment. Her debut single, Why Me, is not only a fan
favorite but has also received rave reviews nationally and around the world via
digital music outlets and internet radio.
CriStyle’s presence on the music
scene is undeniable. She graces stages with her special performance style and
passion for the gift of music and song. She has opened for music legends
Charlie Wilson, Michael McDonald, Regina Belle and more at the 2016 Jazz in the
Gardens Music Festival. CriStyle has also opened for and performed background
vocals with R&B/Soul legends Angie Stone and Tweet. Whenever she performs,
CriStyle always hopes to move people and evoke the same feelings that she gets from
her favorite performers like Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, Rachelle Ferrell,
Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan and Donny Hathaway. "You watch these
tremendous artists give, what I consider to be, master classes in singing and
performing...I stay inspired by watching them.” CriStyle is poised to continue
“to live in her purpose” and make an indelible mark on music and performance.
Her time is now!
