Singer/Songwriter Crystal Nicole learned the buisness from the bottom up and now moves into the spotlight as she walks down the aisle in the video for her first single “Pinch Me.”?
The vid, directored by G Visuals and R Fat Cats, was shot yesterday (September 13, 2011) in Atlanta and stars Q. Parker of 112 as Crystal Nicoles love interest.
Crystal Nicole has been working behind the scenes for years, penning songs for the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Brandy, Monica and many more.
The Atlanta native won a Grammy eariler this year, for penning Rihanna’s “Only Girl (In the World)” and now Crystal Nicole is following the paths of fellow songwriters Ne-Yo and Keri Hilson, who each transitioned from songwriter to artist, with her own record deal with Interscope.
Producer Jazze Pha appears in the video offiiating the ceremony, while Dondria, Tiff Evans, and K. Michelle all join Crystal Nicole as bridesmaids in her first “official” video.
