Carrissa Blu - Love Me Like You Do (Cover)

Carrissa Blu is a New York City based singer-songwriter specializing in Synthpop. 
Her first single “Freedom” was released on major music platforms in 2014. It’s an anthemic song that speaks to just about anyone who is human. 

A rising star that is equally at home in a recording studio or on stage in front of thousands, Carrissa is the real deal. Her irresistible voice and alluring looks are easy to fall for, but it’s her passionate delivery of heartfelt lyrics that listeners respond to, whether at a show or through their speakers. Simply put, she is a pop-lighting strike.

Carrissa’s prowess as a live performer and her distinct, dominant chops have made her the go-to-girl to deliver the national anthem for major sports leagues such as the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL. From the Miami Heat court to the New York Knicks court in Madison Square Garden, Carrissa’s soaring vocals exude strength and sincerity. In fact, Carrissa’s ability to navigate this notoriously difficult song landed her in a 2013 New York Times story, “O Say, Can You Sing at the Ballpark? It’s a Tough Song.”

Carrissa’s passion for singing became clear early on when her church choir in Tampa, Florida, asked her to take a solo. She says, “The moment I stepped on stage I felt a high like nothing I’ve experienced before. I knew then exactly what I wanted to do with my life.”

Fans can hear Carrissa’s original material and her versions of popular songs on her newly created YouTube channel. Her phrasing and pitch is solid as she delivers her more vocally challenging renditions. Even with her high level of musicianship, Carrissa imparts an accessible, every-girl quality to her songs- and her stage work.

She says, “My music is about my life experiences through hardships, the ups and the downs. I want to inspire people to give them hope when there seems to be no hope and make every person feel empowered.”

Carrissa maintains a busy performance schedule in New York City and around the country, including her hometown of Tampa. In the first half of 2015, Carrissa has delivered more than 12 live performances. She has also been blessed to have her music play on top Pop radio stations in New York and Florida.

Hear her songs on major digital and streaming platforms including: Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon MP3, Google Play, 8tracks, Shazam, TIDAL, YouTube Music Key, XBOX Music, Rhapsody, iHeartRadio, and others.
