Karissa Ella is a rising Country singer/songwriter. Karissa joins Country Music Made Me to discuss how a mix of confidence and shyness kept her from sharing her musical talents as a youngster, the power and emotion that drew her to music at a young age, and developing a love for Country Music in High School that would carry her to Nashville after Graduation. Karissa and Brendan talk about her time at Belmont University and how her early experiences at the school prepared her for dealing with the many up's and down's of a career in Music. Karissa explains what made her choose a career in Music, what the first few years have been like in developing her sound within the industry, and what's next following a successful tour with industry veteran David Nail in 2021 and the recent release of her single "Whiskey Whispers Your Name".
