About Crystal
Crystal Shawanda, born on July 26, 1983, is an Indigenous singer and songwriter of Ojibwe Potawatomi heritage, known for her work in blues and country music. She gained recognition with her rise to fame documented in the six-part series Crystal: Living the Dream, which aired in 2008. Signed to RCA Nashville in 2007, Shawanda released her debut single, You Can Let Go, in Canada in January 2008. The single achieved notable success, becoming the fastest climbing song on the Canadian Country Singles Chart since 2000 and reaching the Top 10 in five weeks. It was subsequently released in the United States and reached the number two position on the Mediabase chart. Her accomplishments in the country music scene have been recognized through awards such as the CCMA Female Artist of the Year in 2009 and the JUNO Award for Aboriginal Album of the Year in 2013. Shawanda has achieved several historic milestones, including being the first full-blood Indigenous woman to appear in the Top 20 of the American Billboard Country chart, selling over 300,000 records, and performing at the Grand Ole Opry. In 2022, she became the first Indigenous woman to appear in the Top 10 of the American Billboard Blues chart. Her career continues to reflect her significant influence in both country and blues music, as well as her trailblazing role for Indigenous artists in North America.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
