“‘Who I Am’ has always been one of my favorite songs growing up!” Ella confides. “The honest lyrics spoke to me then and even more now! I can’t wait to see what listeners think of my version of this iconic country song.” Watch and listen now: In a time when country music is more pop than country, Karissa Ella reminds fans where it all began by bringing listeners back to its roots. Amidst the pandemic, Ella took the time to redefine her sound, moving away from pop country and into the country she grew up on. Armed with a Music Entertainment degree from Belmont University and having been singing for crowds from the young age of 10, Ella is one of country music’s rising stars! Karissa Ella lives in Nashville and performs at venues and private venues throughout the U.S, especially in Tennessee, Wisconsin and Ohio. In June 2018, she completed her first EP, having co-written two of the three songs. Her second EP, Blossom, came out summer 2019 with songs like “VACAY” featured by Parade.com and “Me and Luke” by Medium and Taste of Country. As most artists experienced a change in plans in 2020, Ella is no different. Making the best of the situation, she has been busy working on new music. Expect more from the budding singer/songwriter throughout the rest of the year. Keep up to date with Karissa on her website, Instagram and TikTok.
