CHRYSTA BELL

Chrysta Bell is a singer, songwriter, entertainer, model and muse who incorporates dynamic theatrical and multimedia elements into unforgettable performance experiences. Bell has shared the stage with such talents as Willie Nelson, Brian Setzer, Donovan, and members of King Crimson. She has had the great pleasure and honor of writing and recording songs with iconic film director David Lynch, their collaboration yielding both the haunting ‘Polish Poem’ from his ‘INLAND EMPIRE’ soundtrack and an 11-song album titled This Train, released through La Rose Noire records. Chrysta Bell began her professional music career in Austin, Texas, as the lead vocalist for RCA Victor's euro swing act, 8 ½ Souvenirs. Bell’s passion project is her band Black Book Angel, formed with filmmaker and musician Dutch Rall. Black Book Angel is soulful, electro-tinged dream pop, and draws inspiration from such diverse audio and visual influences as Eurythmics, Ellen Von Unwerth, Serge Gainsbourg, Cocteau Twins, Zbigniew Preisner, Gustave Courbet and Goldfrapp. Chrysta Bell enjoys chilled, unfiltered sake, vintage gear with glowing lights and thinks that sustainablity is super sexy.
