Ahead of the release of her EP I Was Wrong, we caught up with neo-soul rising star Crystal Murray, straight from Paris to an afternoon photoshoot in Peckham.
Part of the all female collective Gucci Gang from age thirteen, Crystal is also responsible ‘Safe Place’ - an online platform that helps gives voice to people who have suffered sexual abuse and harrassment.
