All in My Head
What do all these songs have in common? They all belong to an up and coming independent artist by the name of Tori Kelly.
'Tori Kelly? Sounds familiar... was she on a show or something?'
If that's what you thinking... you're right!
Tori has been on a number of talent competitions. American Idol, America's Most Talented Kids( which she won) and Star Search.
When she was eliminated off American Idol she started to write more songs, one song she wrote, recorded and produced was inspired by her feelings after being eliminated and is one of my favourite songs of hers, it's called Road.
She did have a video where she showed how she created the song. In the video description she put a free download but has since deleted the video :(
Since AI, she has posted more videos on her YouTube channel on there you can find her many song covers and live versions of some of her original songs. She has also done many collaborations with a lot of well known YouTubers such as fellow AI Alum Todrick Hall, AJ Rafael, Angie Girl, Timothy De La Ghetto and Scott Hoying.
On May 1st 2012 she released her 1st EP Handmade Songs by Tori Kelly on iTunes! I got it on May 2nd and it was the best birthday present ever! All the songs were made in her bedroom in her Southern California home. It just goes to show, as long as you have the right equipment, you can do anything no matter where you are. My favourite song of the EP is Confetti. Everything the song says added with Tori's vocals and the simply yet catchy beat makes this song a winner in my eyes! The music video for that song came out the same day as the single, April 12th 2012.
Recently, her name has become more well known with Scooter Braun expressing how impressed he was by her voice!! In the past year, along with her EP release, Tori has performed on radio stations like On Air with Ryan Seacrest and at various venues and events, from Pencils for Promise to the MTV VMA Taco Bell Concert Event.
Her 2013 has already started on a high with Tori coming over to the UK and performing a couple of shows in London. Her next show in Canada is sure to be a success.
Tori's special tone, incredible runs and impressive range along with her sweet and charming personality are huge attributes to her fast growing success!! It can only go up from here for her... I see BIG things coming her way, and she deserves it all.
I've found out about Tori Kelly a few years after she was on America's Most Talented Kids when my sister showed me her singing on Star Search, I thought she was amazing from then.
I can't wait to see where this journey takes her...
Talk to yall later!!
