Welcome to the world of Krystatic, a UK songwriter, performer and recording artist who began rapping in 2002 at the age of twelve. After listening to artists such as Biggie, 2Pac, So Solid Crew, Dizzee Rascal, LL Cool J and his favourite artist Nas, Chris Harvey aka Krystatic knew that music was what he wanted to create and that the music industry is somewhere he felt he belonged. At the start it wasn’t all rosy for Krystatic, as he began hanging with the wrong crowds and being drawn in to negative situations. It took a lot of thinking and maturity to turn his life around and walk in the right direction, whilst inspiring others about his story and giving back to the community.
ALICE HOLLYWOOD
I am a singer, songwriter & dancer based in Manchester.
I was born in the north west of the UK and I started taking ballet classes when I was 5 years old. At 6 I wanted to call it quits, until my dance teacher, Joan Ward, convinced me to stay, with the opportunity to perform on stage in a gorgeous gold Tutu that she had picked out for me. I was sold.By the time I was 9 I knew that performing was my dream and what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
At 16 I was on my way to Phil Winston’s Theatre Works where I trained in many styles of dance, song and acting. When finishing the course at 19 I started professionally working as a dancer. I was lucky enough to star on BBC1’s So You Think You Can Dance. I performed in various amazing shows all over the world, from Disney Land Paris to the United States.
It wasn’t until I danced for Pixie Lott in her Music Video ‘What Do You Take Me For’ that I decided singing was the direction I wanted to take my career. As a dancer you are always in the background and watching Pixie made me realise and remember how much I always wanted to go for the ‘Big Time’.
Over the last 4 years I’ve been working hard on my vocals, my songwriting skills and I also studied music production and music business for a year and a half at the Manchester Midi School, to really gain an understanding of music and how to create the best tracks I can in my genre.
This year I have had quite a lot happening from working on my Debut EP, to collaborations with other very talented musicians in the Manchester area, all the while playing for private events, weddings and birthdays all over the UK. Hopefully I’ll be ready to launch my first EP this time next year and looking forward to performing in the summer festivals of 2018. I cant wait to be part of MFW 2017.
