At just 3 years old, Crystal King stepped on stage for the first time. Back then she was still known with her given name Crystal Wang. Her natural stage presence and comfort with an audience made it no surprise that she would one day become an incredible performer.

​

Crystal has always had a passion for music. She started piano lessons at 5 years old and found a natural connection. She soon found herself humming original tunes and making her own compositions. At 7 years old she started writing her own songs just for fun, but after a few years it became a true passion. When Crystal was 9 years old, she entered her first singing competition. As the only child in a room full of adults, there was an immense amount of pressure. However, after a lot of hard work, she ended up winning 3rd place and decided to start singing lessons. Crystal also has experience playing the guitar and the pipa, a Chinese Traditional Instrument. In fact she spent many years in NAYCO, the North American Youth Chinese Orchestra, where she played everything from traditional Chinese pieces to westernized music and won the Houston Young Artist Competition in 2013. Her background as a young girl paved the way for her musical future.
