INTERVIEW | My London: torikelly – Singer
first came into the public consciousness back in 2010 as a contestant on the ninth season of reality T.V. juggernaut, American Idol.
Following the independent release of her self-produced EP Handmade Songs two years later, Kelly caught the attention of record executive Scooter Braun and was signed by Capitol Records – home to the likes of Katy Perry, Lewis Capaldi and Sam Smith – before launching her debut album, Unbreakable Smile in the summer of 2015.
Entering the Billboard 200 at No. 2 and featuring the Gold-certified singles Nobody Loves, Should’ve Been Us and Hollow, the record earned Kelly a 2016 GRAMMY nomination for ‘Best New Artist’ and recognition as a ‘Breakthrough Artist’ at Billboards’s 2015 Women In Music ceremony. To date the record has earned more than one billion cumulative streams worldwide, and has adjusted album sales of 1.3 million.
Kelly’s sophomore record, 2018’s Hiding Place , introduced the Never Alone singer to a whole new audience, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart, earning more first-week streams than any other gospel album in history! The record would go on to win the GRAMMY Award for Best Gospel Album in 2019.
An accomplished record producer, writer and actress, Tori Kelly makes her highly anticipated return to the U.K. this month to play a string of shows in support of her third studio album, Inspired By True Events, including one night at The Roundhouse in Camden on March 16th.
