Palmer made her singing debut with the single ‘Country Girl.’ Her very first song catapulted her to fame.

Early Life

Rissi Palmer was born on August 19, 1981, in Sewickley, Pittsburgh, a Pennsylvania suburb. Until she was 12 years old, she lived there when her family moved to Eureka, Missouri, a St. Louis suburb. Her parents were Georgia natives. She was seven years old when her mother died. Her father had a strong interest in music. There is no further information available about her parents.

There is no information available about the songwriter’s educational background. She has had a passion for singing since she was a child. As a child, she was a member of Team 11, a Mickey Mouse Club-style local television sponsored group. When she was 16, she performed country music at the Arkansas State Fair.

Palmer spent many summers in Summerville, Georgia, visiting her great-grandmother as a child. Her grandmother was a huge influence on her, she says. One of the first places she heard country and R&B music was her grandmother’s house.

Rissi was offered a deal by Flyte Tyme Records when she was 19 years old, but she turned it down because she did not want to change her singing style from twangy country to a pop/soul hybrid. She then sang jingles for Barbie commercials, recorded music for the Dance Fever television show, and competed on Star Search, all while unsuccessfully attempting to land a Nashville recording contract for seven years.
