California-born Victoria Loren “Tori” Kelly is a 22-year old girl climbing the ladder of fame with her blond curls and bright smile. She was first distinguished as a YouTube performer; however, this was not her only foray in making a name to the music industry.
She was accounted to have joined “Star Research” and “America’s Most Talented Kid.” She also appeared in “American Idol Season 9,” although she did not make the cut to the “Top 24.” She did not have a good start, but that did not deter her from taking steps towards the stardom.
She made her own album entitled Handmade Songs By Tori Kelly that contained her six songs recorded in her very own bedroom and was released the first of May 2012 on iTunes. It peaked to 9th place in Top Heatseekers Chart. Her supporting act to the industry’s hottest names – Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith – has also contributed to her rising popularity and increasing fanbase.
She has debuted her first major EP, Foreword, under the Capitol Records last October 22, 2013, which reached 16th place on “The Billboard 200.” Now, she’s working on her next album Unbreakable Smile. She collaborated with Ed Sheeran, Toby Gad, Pharell Williams, and Max Martin, which was set to release in June 23, 2015.
Her music inclination was said to be rooted from her upbringing. With a Jamaican, Irish, and Puerto Rican father and an Irish mother, she was exposed to myriad of songs of different genres and styles.
One of her singles to watch out for is her “Nobody Love.” This single will set your fingers tapping to its up-beat tempo and her powerful, controlled vocals. It reached the Billboard Hot 100 and now Tori is currently touring in the USA.
