Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ RCA Nashville Records) - RCA Nashville recording artist Crystal Shawanda's album, Dawn Of A New Day, entered the Billboard Country Albums Chart at No 16 making Shawanda the highest charting full-blooded Native American country artist in the SoundScan era. The album features her emotional debut single and Top 20 hit, 'You Can Let Go,' which continues to climb the country radio charts.

Michael McCall of the Associated Press writes 'Dawn Of A New Day suggests Nashville has discovered another strong female vocalist capable of establishing her own point of view.'

Crystal grew up on the Wikwemikong reservation on Canada 's Manitoulin Island where she and her family found daily comfort and hope through music. Shawanda means 'Dawn of a New Day' in Crystal 's native Ojibwe language, and a new day is what music has given Crystal . A citizen of both the U.S. and Canada , Crystal has always turned to her music, which she credits for saving her life. Dawn Of A New Day, which was produced by Scott Hendricks, is dedicated 'To Those In Need Of Hope.'
