Americana anthems about your crappy ex-boyfriend.

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Elaina Christina writes sharp-tongued, emotionally honest Americana and country songs for anyone who’s loved hard and learned ugly lessons. Known for her powerhouse vocals and cutting lyricism, her sound lives at the intersection of gritty storytelling and modern melody.

In just three years in Nashville, she’s earned invitations to some of the city’s most respected stages—including The Bluebird Cafe, Whiskey Jam, and BusCall—and continues to receive songwriting recognition from the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) and American Songwriter, all while performing more than 70 shows a year.

Drawing influence from artists like Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childers, Megan Moroney, and Noah Kahan, Elaina blends raw emotion with an occasional wink, delivering songs that hit just as hard live as they do in headphones. Raised in a sarcasm-as-a-second-language family and shaped by everything from blues to contemporary Christian music, her writing balances vulnerability with bite.

As one longtime Nashville bartender put it: “I can count on one hand the artists I know will be successful—you’re one of them.”

With roots stretching far beyond Tennessee and new music on the way, Elaina Christina is building a catalog for listeners who want honesty, edge, and songs that stay with them.
