Tori Kelly

Tori Kelly is an American singer, songwriter and record producer who rose to fame after her cover of Frank Ocean's 'Thinkin Bout You' went viral on YouTube. She is literally a self-made musician who created her first few songs at home, on her computer, and posted them online to reach an audience. After trying her luck at music reality shows like 'American Idol', she decided to work independently on her own music and released her first EP, 'Handmade Songs By Tori Kelly', all by herself. It was an instant hit and was the launch-pad for her musical career. She soon got Scooter Braun as her manager and signed with 'Capitol Records' to release her second EP 'Foreword'. It was followed by her debut album, 'Unbreakable Smile'. She co-wrote the lead single from the album, 'Nobody Love', with renowned song writer Max Martin, and it became her first song on US 'Billboard' Hot 100. Talking about the album, she said it blends her soulful urban music with a mainstream pop vibe. She has so far won a number of prestigious awards and was nominated for a Grammy Award. She has recently worked as a voice actor in the animated movie 'Sing'.
