As a Native Floridian, Charissa grew up with values of love, family, and food. However, it was early on in life that Charissa discovered music and her love of singing. Through adolescence she took every opportunity to perform. In school she began with chorus and show choir, learned odd performance like Polynesian dance and then continued on to theatre and musical theatre in High School where she went on to compete and win in multiple district and state competitions. After high school, Charissa went on to graduate from the University of Central Florida with a B.S. degree in Hospitality Management with a focus on Entertainment Management.
While completing her degree, she simultaneously began her professional career with Walt Disney World, singing in their "High School Musical" shows as well as various Christmas shows and other events. Since moving to Chicago, she's made multiple appearances on stage, in movies, television, and commercials, as well as various promotions around the city!
Most recently Charissa has been focusing on making her mark on the infamous cover-band world as a lead vocalist for multiple bands including "Afterglow" (www.afterglowchicago.com) and the newly formed "Bad Romance" (www.badromanceshow.com).
