Up and Coming

We all know Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Jay-Z and so forth, but, do we know the up and coming stars?

TORI KELLY

            The just turned 21 singer has been rocking the stage all over the country. She has performed on several shows such as The Ellen Show, 106 and Park, and The Queen Latifa Show performing her self-written single Dear No One. She recently sang an acoustic version of the hit single Right There with Ariana Grande herself on MTV 's Artist to Watch. Tori has more than 58 million views on YouTube seen by viewers all over the world. In 2010 she tried out for the now dying American Idol. Simon told her her voice was “almost annoying” ,but, she came back signing a record deal with Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s manager, Scooter Braun in 2013.

                Tori Kelly dropped a six song EP, Foreward, last year that will lead into an album in 2014. Tori went on her US and UK tour with just her and her guitar. I did attended her performance at the House of Blues in Chicago and she was absolutely amazing. Many singers are good in the studio but cannot sing live like her. Tori had the crowd going. Even my mom enjoyed her performance and is now a fan. Tori Kelly has a big year ahead of her with a new album, new fans, and up and coming fame.
