New music, tour dates, and behind-the-scenes straight from Karissa — no spam, just the good stuff.
Big voice, small-town heart. Karissa Ella writes plainspoken country songs about real life and sings them like she means every word — the kind you turn up with the windows down and know by the second chorus. Catch her live and you'll hear the whole room singing back.
Karissa Ella's story starts in North Canton, Ohio — the kind of small town where weekends meant family, wide open spaces, and maybe a little whiskey too. Those roots run through everything she does, and they're what led her to Nashville to chase country music.
With four EPs — Karissa Ella, Blossom, It's Personal, and Growing Wings — she's built a reputation for authentic storytelling that resonates, from heartfelt favorites like "I Hope Heaven's Like" and "Mamas Do" to crowd-pleasers like "Well Tequila" and "Honky Tonk Heartbeat." She still writes about home today, telling honest stories from her own life through the eyes of a down-to-earth country girl.
"Karissa Ella blends the polish of pop-country with her unmistakable twang and a neo-traditional sound as she crafts a musical narrative of heightening maturity and confidence."
BillboardKarissa's new single, "The Country," is out now — and it's her most lived-in release yet. Recorded in Nashville, it's a love letter to where she comes from: the people, the places, and the wide-open feeling of home.
