Welcome! My name is Elaina Christina, and I am a Nashville-based Americana-Country songwriter & artist with a reputation - I am told - for raw lyrics, soulful vocals, and energetic live performances.

After multiple shoulder surgeries sidelined me as a competitive diver at the age of 12, I turned to singing & songwriting as an outlet. Turns out that was the Best. Move. Ever.

Raised on Contemporary Christian Music, my musical interests expanded into Blues, Pop Folk, and Country as I discovered artists like Megan Moroney, Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, and Noah Kahan.

As a teenager I performed as a Blues vocalist, which sparked the passion to pursue music professionally. Following that passion and the advice of mentors I moved to Nashville in 2022, entering the commercial music program at Lipscomb University (looking at you Hannah McFarland, Kelsea Ballerini, Thomas Rhett, and Dustin Lynch!)

Since then I haver been sooo grateful to gain songwriting recognition from American Songwriter and NSAI (Nashville Songwriting Association International), to play regularly for amazing audiences on Broadway, to meet and perform with talented Nashville musicians and producers, and to be invited to play at The Bluebird Cafe, Bus Call, Whiskey Jam, and others.

While my Nashville friend group keeps growing, I am a Cincinnati native with roots in Omaha and Portland and can’t wait to someday return to perform for all the people who support me!
