composer / singer / writer / producer of acoustic and electronic music
Crystin Fawn - also known as Crystin is a composer & producer, sound sculptor, singer & writer of acoustic & electronic music from Düsseldorf. Her musical spectrum ranges from pure solo-pieces - up to deep electronic music - to shiny indie pop songs and pure piano soundscapes. Parallel to her law studies she set up her own studio, built up a music production company & a label together with her partner. She releases solo & band albums, writes and produces music mainly for film & international stagings. Feeling at home in very different styles she releases music under different names and sometimes "hidden behind projects". In the past she received the renowned composition advancement award of her hometown Düsseldorf. Her compositions were part of several international films / theatre productions ("Hanami", "Robert Zimmermann wundert sich über die Liebe", "The Horla", "Behind the Curtain"...). She made 2 official remixes for "Die Fantastischen Vier" (of 2 songs from their latest album "Captain Fantastic") and composed and produced music for several plays directed by the renowned British director Andy McQuade (Second Skin Theatre London and L.A.). Her atmospheric soundtrack / multi-media - projects "ICO" & C42, her pure piano project "Absence Of Doubt" and several lounge-projects carry her music into the world, too.
Last but not least, she is the sister half of the acoustic duo "the sea & the sun", which she founded with her brother and one half of the electro-pop band Hearhere (collaboration with sound wizard HHNOI).
"Under My Skin - a song I wrote and produced in 2007 - has been sampled, reimagined, renamed and "overrapped" countless times across the world. It seems to be a simple reminder that, deep down, we are all the same. Sadly, much of this has happened beyond the bounds of copyright.. Therefore I decided to release some very special, experimental and consoling remixes featuring some fantastic producers & friends.. The wonderful Hans Steingen produced a deeply touching musical journey through my father's home scenery..
UNDER MY SKIN (STEINGEN RMX) will be released on 18.04.2025...
Kurt Schmidt from THE WIDE / Plexiphones made an impressive indie pop remix - coming out at the end of the summer.. ."

... Yes, there actually still is some authenticity and sparkle in the music business.
Crystin creates a mysterious, intriguing planet, whose impressive diversity and
filigreed beauty are tantamount to a revelation.
(Dieter Bross - STYLE international)
... At some point I finally started to play Crystin's CD, which revealed not only an
alluringly fresh and unspoiled female vocal but also a beguiling instrumental
arrangement... Every minute is worth hearing. ...
