Krystal Meyers big in Japan

LOS ANGELES (Essential Records/ www.krystalmeyers.com) - Dove Award-nominated artist Krystal Meyers has landed the No 1 spot with her anthemic single, "Anticonformity," on general market radio in Japan, ousting legendary rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers from the top. Coming on the heels of the release of her self-titled album in Japan, "Anticonformity" is currently atop the domestic and international general market radio charts in Japan. Additionally, Meyers is currently gracing the covers of Nylon Magazine Japan (June edition) and Bounce Magazine (June edition). "I simply cannot believe this," exclaims an ecstatic Meyers. "Overwhelmed doesn't begin to describe how I feel towards the reception I am receiving in Japan. God wanted this all to happen and I am so thankful to be a part of it."

Meyers is returning to Japan for the second time this year to visit with media and retail. During her first outing, between March 25 and April 1, she performed a show for over 500 contest winners, saw retail and media, interviewed with MTV Japan, and did her cover photo shoot for Nylon Magazine Japan.

Since the U.S. release of her debut album on Essential Records, seventeen year-old Meyers has garnered a Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year, had three Top 10 singles ("The Way To Begin", "My Savior", and "Anticonformity"), and performed before more than 400,000 people.

Krystal Meyers' second studio project, Dying For A Heart, will be in stores September 19.
