I honestly never thought I would be writing something like this, but here I am—slightly nervous, very excited, and really grateful.
Over the past few years, I’ve been quietly working on music. Not in a “look at me, I’ve got it all figured out” kind of way, but more like a private journey between me and God. Music has always been something I turn to when I don’t know how to put my thoughts into words. It’s where I process emotions, where I pray without always using sentences, and where I feel a strange kind of peace even when life doesn’t make sense.
And for the first time, I feel ready to share a piece of that journey with you.
I recently worked on a cover in the style of Afterhours Melodic Techno 2026 | Deep Trance EDM, and I want to be honest—it’s a little different from what people might expect when they hear “Christian woman sharing music.” But I think that’s part of why I wanted to share it. My faith is not something I box into a specific sound or aesthetic. It’s something that walks with me through everything I create, even when it doesn’t look traditional on the surface.
Please click on the video below and let me know what you think after listening!
This track is something I would describe as atmospheric, emotional, and reflective. It’s not loud in the way that demands attention, but more like a soundscape that slowly pulls you in. There are moments in it that feel like late-night thoughts—those quiet hours when the world is asleep, and your heart is doing all the talking. That’s kind of where this came from.
I didn’t set out to make something “perfect.” I set out to make something honest.
As a 24-year-old, I feel like I’m constantly learning what it means to grow into myself while also growing in my relationship with God. Sometimes those two things feel very aligned, and other times they feel like I’m being stretched in opposite directions. But I’ve realized something really important: God isn’t intimidated by my creativity. He isn’t asking me to shrink it. He’s inviting me to bring it to Him.
That’s what this project became for me.
A space where I could bring my questions, my emotions, my late-night thoughts, and turn them into sound.
There’s something about melodic techno and deep trance that I didn’t expect to connect with so deeply. It’s repetitive, but in a way that feels meditative. It builds slowly, almost like thoughts forming in real time. And honestly, I think that reflects life a lot better than we admit. We don’t always get sudden clarity. Sometimes understanding comes in layers, over time, through repetition, through waiting.
If you listen to this cover, I hope it meets you wherever you are. Maybe you’re driving home late at night, maybe you’re studying, maybe you’re trying to calm your mind after a long day. Or maybe you just need something to sit with you in the background while you think. I don’t expect it to “fix” anything. I just hope it gives you a moment of peace or reflection.
And if I can be really transparent for a second—I would genuinely love your feedback.
This is my first time sharing something like this publicly, and I’m still learning. I want to grow, not just as a creator, but as someone who is willing to be seen while still staying grounded in who I am in Christ. So if you have thoughts, encouragement, or even constructive feedback, I would truly appreciate it. It helps more than you know.
I also want to say this to anyone reading who feels like their interests or creativity don’t “fit” into a box: you are allowed to create freely. You are allowed to explore. And you are allowed to bring God into spaces that don’t always look traditionally spiritual. He meets us everywhere—even in late-night studio sessions, even in imperfect drafts, even in sounds that are still becoming what they’re meant to be.
This is just the beginning for me. I don’t know exactly where this path is going, but I’m learning to trust the process and stay faithful in the small steps.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you even more if you take a moment to listen.
Grace and peace 🤍
This is so captivating. It sounds so good. I really like it. You did an amazing job. Keep up the good work. I am saving it so I can listen to it while I study. God bless you.

Woo-Hoo. Way to go.
Thank you for sharing this.
We underestimate how much of the power in art comes from our own vulnerability…

Dear Lovely “Christian Tech,”
It’s wonderful to witness your courage (it takes vulnerability to be creative and courage to release it) and creativity in this new venture into sound-music!
The headphone image and lights flowed well with the alternating tech beats.
Because I pray for you, believe in you, and love you in the Lord, I’d like to share what I’ve gleaned from my son who’s pursuing his master’s in AI. He said that there is little godliness (what is true, honorable, trustworthy, praiseworthy, of excellent report) in the images that train AI generators. There is an amazing absence of light in the images.
Also, a woman of God who is renowned for her original art said that, “What’s in the soul of the artist comes through their art.”
With that background, the image of the cyberpunk AI image at a midnight encounter and the angels did not have a resonance of light, godliness and goodness in their image – and I know you cited that the music was moving through dark and light.
It is possible to move through the emotions that feel dark and heavier to light – and still hold the beauty of holiness. That is what David did through his emotive psalms recorded in Scripture. And, though not readily visible in our culture, holiness is beautiful (Psalm 29:2; 96:9).
I believe that to facilitate the gift and creativity Heavenly Father placed in you and through you to listener/viewers to help them process and to connect with Heavenly Father that the headphone image and light gradient/alternate backdrop would be best played through the music video on loop.
I pray you do well in this new endeavor – and shine your light and glorify our Heavenly Father!
All His best with love in Christ,
Crystal

I listened, it sounds like it could be listened to with headphones and your eyes shut. I am not a spiritual or person that likes techno (I like 90’s stuff – old skool stuff lol) tbh I prefer anti-social, anti-establishment angry punk. ^^ But I like the beats in your vid. 😀
