Tori Rossi

Tori Rossi (born Victoria Rossi; April 23, 1993) is a 20 year old American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Tori was born in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and raised by her parents Gayle and Rick. Rick, a singer songwriter and guitarist himself, earned a living performing as a solo act in some of the legendary bars in Ft. Lauderdale. Toris home was always filled with music. She fondly remembers listening to her father sing and play guitar, and would often sing along with her sister as their father played songs from the 70's and 80's. At an early age, Toris parents recognized her talents and began nurturing them. Much like her Grandmother who was a teenage Opera singer, Toris voice was extremely powerful with a seemingly endless range.

At 13 years of age, Tori joined her school chorus and her love and passion of music performance grew to new heights. Harmonizing, reading music and mastering voice control came very easy and natural for Tori. During the 7th grade, Tori won the school's version of American Idol and became known as "the little girl with the BIG voice." Tori began to branch out into the community performing the National Anthem at charity events and at local cheerleading competitions where she also became known as "the singing cheerleader with the BIG voice. Performing cover songs by Carrie Underwood, Celine Dion and Kelly Clarkson, Tori entered and won numerous local talent contests. She soon combined her talents with the musical abilities of four other musicians and formed a progressive rock band called Persona. Playing songs influenced by Paramore, Versaemerge and Broadway, they soon became extremely popular in the local community.

Earlier this year Tori was asked by Downloading Records owner Harvey Lee to sing lead vocals on a song titled Say No To Drugs that will be promoted by Drug Free World Organization in 2012.

Presently, Tori is in the studio completing material for her self-titled debut promo EP. The EP features some cover tunes with updated productions and a few original compositions ranging from Rock and Pop to R&B.;
