Bio

Meet Elaina Christina - Americana-Country artist with pop-folk influences

…a Nashville-based singer-songwriter who blends powerful & soulful vocals with poetic songs about love and loss.

After an early interest in competitive diving was cut short by multiple injuries, she redirected her passions to music and hasn’t looked back.

Raised on Contemporary Christian Music, her interests expanded into Blues, Pop Folk, and Country as she was exposed to their honesty and poetic creativity. Artists like Susan Tedeschi, Noah Kahan, Tyler Childers, and Megan Moroney have been influences.

Having developed her vocal chops as a teenaged Blues singer, she knew Nashville was the place to be and moved there full time in 2022.

Since then her songwriting and vocal talents have led her to venerable Nashville showcases including The Bluebird Cafe, Whiskey Jam, and Bus Call. And her songwriting has earned recognition from NSAI and American Songwriter.

Elaina is a Cincinnati native, but has considered Omaha, Portland and now Nashville as homes at one time or another.
