From Music Therapy to Music City: Krystal King on Self-Producing, Songwriting, and the Sound of Courage
Margo is joined by rising country artist Krystal King, a Nashville-based singer-songwriter with roots in North Carolina and a background in music therapy. With her raw, emotionally laced vocals and vivid, imagery-rich storytelling, Krystal brings a fresh take on a classic country sound—infused with folk, soul, blues, and rock.
After studying music therapy at Appalachian State University and working in psychiatric care, Krystal made the bold move to Nashville in 2017 with nothing but her guitar and a calling she couldn’t ignore. Since then, she’s self-produced her debut album Pretty Poison, performed on iconic stages like the Bluebird Café, and become a DJ on SiriusXM’s Radio Margaritaville.
Margo and Krystal discuss:
-
The emotional layers behind songwriting
-
How music therapy shaped her creative approach
-
Producing her own album + building a supportive team
-
Performing across the country and trusting the process
-
Courage, creativity, and the nervous system connection
-
Staying honest, quirky, and grounded in the country music world
