Crystal Waters in the ‘House’
Crystal Waters Dance music legend headlining MetroBall 17 at S4 TAMMYE NASH | Managing Editor Nash@DallasVoice.com Crystal Waters’ first job in the music industry was as a backup singer at a local recording studio.
But she had much bigger plans, and she wanted the creative control that came with writing her own music. And after meeting house music production team The Basement Boys at a conference in Washington, D.C., Waters set out to combine her jazzy style with their House music.
And now, as the name of her podcast and her Sirius XM show proclaim, she IS House. One of the first two songs she wrote with The Basement Boys, in 1991, was “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless),” and a dance floor legend was born.
Waters is the headliner for MetroBall 17, happening Friday night, June 7, at Station 4. Before heading to Big D for the show, she took the time recently to answer a few questions for Dallas Voice.
