Crystal Precious is a singer, rapper, writer, actor & host based in Vancouver Canada. She best known as the resident MC & main stage host of the Bass Coast Music Festival, for the video to her single Apple Pie (No Pie For You), and for her local events newsletter precious-list >>♬💎

As an artist, CP lands somewhere between burlesque showgrrl and late-night warehouse MC. Her original songs evoke a bass-heavier tribute to nineties-style atmospheric hip hop, layered with lounge-y trip-hop vocals and a twist of tongue-in-cheek humour.

Over the past two decades, Crystal has helmed multiple underground venues (Fortress, Dollhouse Studios, The Crystal Ballroom), each built with the intention to carve out a stronger femme-forward presence in the West Coast electronic music scene.

💎 From 2003 to 2016, CP fronted the multiple-award-winning Sweet Soul Burlesque, hosting and kicking off each show with her original vocal hip hop tunes. She produced their six year weekly run at The Keefer Bar (2010 - 2016), hosting more than 300 shows for upscale cocktail crowds.

💎 CP's debut recording project “The Striphop EP”, was produced by Self Evident (Lighta Sound, dipped recordings) and was released on East Van Digital.

💎 In February of 2020, CP debuted her new music and storytelling show "Things I Shouldn't Tell You" at the Push International Performing Arts Festival.

💎 After Covid, CP debuted her podcast "Backstage Cash w/ Crystal Precious" to hear from independent artists about what it takes to thrive financially in the digital era.
