Karissa music video Moved By The Music
To say this singer/songwriter has the earthy richness of Norah Jones and the vocal range of Annie Lennox would be a dead-on compliment, but the shout-out falls short of Karissa’s truly unique talents. When you hear her sing, you feel her emotions driving the lyrics and melodies. And the songs, all written by Karissa, are passionate, soulful and embrace a depth of subject matter well beyond her 24 years.
After performing gigs where she sang, played guitar and piano while attending the University of Wyoming, Karissa made a trip to Nashville in 2006, where she met Robb Royer, Academy Award-winning songwriter/producer and co-founder of the ‘70s super-group Bread. Robb heard her sing her songs, tagged her “the real thing” and since 2007 they have been in the studio collaborating on new song after song. Her infectious single, “Torpedo,” is currently a hit on the dance club charts.
