Sister Crayon

Sacramento, California electronic duo Sister Crayon was created by singer/songwriter Terra Lopez. Originally conceived as a solo project, Lopez was eventually joined by producer Dani Fernandez. The pair released two albums (2011's Bellow and 2013's Cynic) of beat-focused dark synth that was inspired by trip-hop and '90s hip-hop. While recording the third Sister Crayon album, Devoted, in 2015, a series of tragedies befell Lopez: the deaths of both her father and her best friend. After the twin losses, the pair decided to change their name to Rituals of Mine, both as a way to put their loved ones to rest, together with the name they knew in life, as well as to brand themselves with a moniker that fully belonged to both women.
