---------------
In the early 1980’s, when most children living in Upper East Tennessee were huddled around Atari game systems and playing with Strawberry Shortcake dolls, 7 year old Crystal Senter Brown was sitting in a church basement, learning how to write and perform poetry and spoken word. By age 8, Crystal was sought out to travel to nearby events to sing and perform poetry from legends such as Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou.
Through the years Crystal has received several Massachusetts Artists grants, has been nominated for awards such as Spoken Word Artist of the Year (Urban Music Awards) and Singer/ Songwriter of the Year (Valley Advocate.) Crystal’s song “In the Dark” received honorable mention from the Billboard Music Song Awards and in 2006, Crystal was named as a Peacedriven Songwriter (Crystal’s song “Large and Lovely” placed in the top 40 out of thousands of entries.) Crystal’s music can be heard across the U.S. and abroad on commercial and college radio stations, as well as on many podcasts such as “Rockin Mom’s”
Crystal is celebrating the release of her book “Doubledutch- the collected poems and short stories of Crystal Senter Brown.”
Quotes include:
"She's New England's best kept secret"-
Mohogany Browne, HBO's Real Sex
"Any label who hears this project (MOJO) and doesn't sign
Crystal on the spot is crazy!"
Andrew Cade, WTCC 90.7

I first met Crystal Senter Brown or shall I say heard her for the first time at a club in Springfield, MA. As the show was coming to an end I said to myself, “One day I’m going to work with her.” I was blown away by her stage presence, beauty, and delivery. She had me and the rest of the audience in the palm of her hands. Ten years later we saw each other at a different club in Springfield but this time we met, traded music and proceeded to discuss how we would approach collaborating on a project. After our meeting I told her I would listen to her cd and do a review, she said, “cool.” We parted I went on the road for 8 days and for 8 days I listened to nothing but “Mojo” sometimes twice a day. I guess it’s obvious I really enjoyed this cd. Before I get to Crystal let me say Jarreau Pitts did an outstanding job on the musical textures with some added star power by bassists’ Heshima Moja and Anton Gillyan. Now, for Miss Crystal she wrote all the hooks and they are quite memorable. The lyrics range from love, loss, serious, fun, touching, empowering and free. Crystal has a remarkable ability to reel you in and fill your heart and soul with the emotion of the subject matter. I love her voice (good pitch) and the way she makes the transition from vocal to spoken words, track 10 “Patiently” is a good example of that. This cd is about the journey not the destination it deserves your full attention from start to finish. As far as I’m concerned that’s the only way to understand the beauty and brilliance of Crystal Senter Browns’ “Mojo”. PS Do yourself a huge favor and read her book “Doubledutch.” Nikki Giovanni said, “This book should be read by every young woman.” I say, “This book should be read by everyone, it’s a literary achievement.”

REAL!!!
author: EmilyThere aren't very many albums out there that a 'plus sized' woman can relate to. Crystal's album brings out the realistic side of a woman...their needs, wants, and of course their sexuality. This album is awesome! My favorite song is In The Dark where she speaks of a 'secret love affair'...Crystal's talent is truly displayed in every one of her songs!
A true talent!
author: Bigg CeeThis lady has it all together, class and talent and she's on her way to making it big! Pun intended! LARGE AND LOVELY is a song that should be heard by every woman over a size who has ever felt she didnt belong in the world...
WONDERFUL ! FABULOUS ! MESMERIZING ! MUST HEAR ! MUST BUY !
author: Nikki BurnettThis is the first CD that I have found that satisfies all of my moods. Her mix of jazz, R&B and spoken word is what my ears and heart have ached for. Stardom awaits her and I will do all that I can to aid her to that end. Anyone that hears this won't be able to resist buying it for someone else. Everyone needs some mojo in their lives. The biggest fan, Nikki
What is Mojo? Crystal's jazz, r &b, and good poetry...
author: Jennifer MelendezCrystal Senter's Brown music is entrancing...She starts off with a classy, yet catchy jazz beat to her music. She mixes her spoken word with romance and real life situations, which make her music very contemporary. Details captured by her images, such as "coffee tastes so bitter, no pitter patter of our baby's feet" in Change of Seasons (my favorite song!!!). The register of her voice is very rich and diverse. Mojo is a declaration of empowerment: the music in it is living proof of loving yourself just the way you are, and following your dreams (Large and Lovely). The perfect gift for your lover, friend, or yourself...
