Crystal Shawanda

Crystal began in country music, where she quickly made history. After signing with RCA Nashville in her early twenties, her debut album Dawn of a New Day (2008) became the highest‑charting album by a full‑blooded Canadian Indigenous country artist. Her breakout single “You Can Let Go” became one of the fastest‑rising hits on the Canadian Country Singles Chart, reaching Top 10 in just five weeks and climbing to #2 on the U.S. Mediabase chart. She went on to become the first Indigenous woman to win the Canadian Country Music Award for Female Artist of the Year.
