Bio

Elaina Christina is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter developing a reputation as a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter channeling Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childers, Megan Moroney, Jason Isbell and Noah Kahan.

As of October, two singles from her 2026 EP have been released:

  • “Friday the 13th” describes the chaotic aftermath of a relationship that crashed

  • “Swing and a Miss” is a soulful sing-along for girls who left a bad man behind - where he belongs!

With three years under her belt in Nashville, she has received invitations to some of Nashville’s most prestigious showcases - including The Bluebird Cafe, Whiskey Jam, and BusCall - and songwriting recognition from NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International).

However, her highest praise came recently from a long-time Nashville bartender who told her “I’ve been working here for 10 years and can count on one hand the number of artists I knew would be successful: you are one of them”.

Raised in a Sarcasm-As-A-Second Language family, her musical tastes were shaped by a mix of Contemporary Christian, Blues, Pop Folk, and Country.

Looking ahead, and with ties to many places - Tennessee, Texas, Ohio, Oregon, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, Australia - she is excited to continue bringing her unique sound and occasionally tongue-in-cheek perspective to the world.
