Bio
Chryssy Payne is a 26 year old Christian Hip Hop artist from Dayton, Ohio.
Currently based out of Cincinnati, OH, the rapper, singer, song-writer, host and
fitness leader's ultimate
goal is to create a new genre of music, "FOTS" music. FOTS stands for
"Fruit of the Spirit," which derives from the scripture Galatians
5:22-23.
Chryssy's foray into music began at the early age of 8,
when she recorded her first song and became enamored with hearing her
voice over music. As an adolescent, Chryssy found relief in writing
poetry and songs as she struggled with depression, loss, and identity
issues. Growing
up, Chryssy was inspired by the culture and the music of 90's Hip Hop.
She wanted to cultivate a sound and lyrics that would capture the
positive vibes of the times, but would be spiritually and scripturally
sound. With her music, she wanted listeners to hear that the Word of God
can be conveyed across different genres of music including Hip Hop, Neo
Soul, R n' B, Jazz, Pop and Rock. By the end of 2014, she released
three mixtapes, "Progress" (2012), "The Intro: Straight From the
Heart"(2013), "Me & You Tonight" (2014). It was also during this
time that she began to work on her debut EP, "Because He Said So" that
released in 2015.
In 2016, Chryssy joined the NorthEast leg of
The Extreme Tour and started hosting the growing, “F.O.T.S. Fit” Web
Series to provide weekly tips spiritual and physical health. In Christ,
Chryssy has found freedom and her calling, through music, Chryssy has
found expression and a deeper connection with others.
Chryssy has also developed a publishing and apparel company, FOTS Culture LLC.
FOTS Culture LLC is a multimedia production company, which aims to
serve aspiring artists with their creative needs through Apparel, Music,
Songwriting, and Trademark/Publishing assistance. FOTS Culture LLC also
serves as the primary distributor of The FOTS Clothing Line
(started in 2012) and Chryssy’s upcoming 5th project titled, "Mi Viaje",
which translates to "My Journey" was released January 30, 2017.
