Please sign my guestbook when you get time...
WATCH MY VIDEO OF MY SONG "SOME HEROES DON'T COME BACK"
Carissa Amberly is one of the most talented "newcomers" I have heard in quite sometime. She is blessed with an original approach to a song.
Her voice grabs attention via purity and realism. All-in-all, Carissa is a true stylist. After I aired her "Some Heroes Don't come Back", my listeners responded in a big way. Her new CD consists of a perfect mixture. I receive requests for her "works" on a regular basis.
This beautiful lady is a shining light. I am certain her light will glow brighter with every release. She is a winner!

With an electric performance energy and a vocal purity unlike any other,
Carissa Amberly a 17 year old Singer/Songwriter from Longview, Texas is breaking onto the music scene trailing a growing
number of fans. Her rich vocals combined with sincere country and gospel music written
by some of today's top songwriters have produced her first solo album, Letters (2007).
This past year, Carissa has been both in the recording studio and on the stage. After winning first place in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame talent showcase in August 2006, Carissa was immediately given the opportunity to sing in a music show that would later
welcome the Gatlin Brothers, Billy Joe Shaver, Jack Greene, and Casey Rivers to the same stage.
As a part of her prize package, Carissa was awarded a trip to Branson, MO to guest perform on the shows hosted by Mickey Gilley, Hamner Barber, Jim Owen, Jim Stafford, and Doug Gabriel.
Now that the whirlwind affects of the contest have slowed down, Carissa has been performing in and around East Texas for audiences large and small- including The Great American Trucking Show with Truckers Complete in August 2006, 2007, and 2008. A fundraiser performance with Louie Gohmert in October 2006, and even President George W. Bush and 10,000 others at the Presidental Rally on October 30, 2006 in Sugarland Texas.
Whether she's singing in front of fans or strangers, Carissa's energetic performance captures audiences with sincerity in song and style. Word of her outstanding talent is spreading far and fast.
Carissa's background in music is one grounded in honest country style and nurtured by gospel truth. She started performing in local opry's as a young girl, and has since grown into a beautiful young lady with a mature style and a sound uniquely her own.
Her growing popularity among true veterans of country music is taking her into wider horizons in the country music industry, and with an increasing number of fans of Letters (2007) few can argue with her aspirations for the top of the charts.
