Tori discovered her passion for singing through karaoke sessions on cruise vacations. It wasn't until she got her driver's license and started using her car as a practice studio that she truly developed her voice. Teaching herself the ukulele and guitar led to a natural progression into songwriting. While balancing her schoolwork and passion for music as she attended Baylor University, she gained traction on TikTok and amassed more than 140,000 followers. She then released her debut EP in 2020, with her song "Classic" achieving notable success, playing in department stores and coffee shops nationally. Alongside her music, Tori works in brand marketing, where she utilizes her creativity within the corporate world. Her interests even collided once when she entered her company's talent show with an original song, surprising her colleagues with her hidden musical talent and winning the competition.
