Tori Kelly

Tori Kelly is a musician from Wildomar, CA born on December 14, 1992. Kelly has a phenomenal voice which she uses to empower and move her listeners. I personally first discovered Kelly through a youtube video of her covering Frank Ocean's song, "Thinkin' Bout You". Her video gathered over 17 million views and thrust her into the spotlight.

If there’s one thing Tori Kelly knows how to do, it’s hustle. The 22-year-old singer-songwriter has spent the past few years building a following through appearances on competition singing shows, self-released EPs, YouTube covers, Vine freestyles, and more. All that hard work is finally paying off with the release of the lead single off her upcoming debut album, “Nobody Love.” The brassy Max Martin-produced track has all the makings of a pop smash so get to know the curly-haired cutie before she blows up later this year.

Unlike most of the female pop acts who dominate the charts today, Kelly takes a very personal approaching to putting together her tracks. Every lyric is her own, and when starting out, she was intent on growing not just as a singer, but a songwriter as well.

“I’m all over the place when it comes to writing,” Kelly says in regards to her creative process. “Literally, every song on the EP has been written in a completely different way. It was really random. I write a lot of my songs in my bedroom because it’s where I feel most vulnerable.”
