Crystal Kay Williams, known simply as Crystal Kay, is a versatile Japanese-American artist admired for her R&B inflected pop music career. Born on February 26, 1986, in Yokohama, Japan, she was exposed to a rich tapestry of music at a young age, thanks to her African-American father and Korean mother, who were both professional musicians.

With a career spanning over two decades, Crystal Kay has established herself as a significant force in Asian pop culture, earning admiration for both her vocal prowess and her ability to transcend cultural barriers. Her extensive discography highlights her evolution as an artist, and her multicultural background has informed her unique sound that blends J-pop with international pop, R&B, and occasionally dance elements. Amidst her catalog, the recent releases such as the "Start Again EP," tracks like "Spark," "How You Feel," and "Love me," attest to her ongoing relevance and ability to resonate with audiences. Through her music, Crystal Kay continues to captivate listeners and remains a cherished figure in contemporary music in Japan and beyond.
