From the opening ethereal voices of ‘Belief ’, Toria announces herself as a new sound in Irish female alternative rock. Melancholic and moody tones are broken by an energetic and passionate alt rock soundtrack. A mix of beauty, passion and frustrated anger; lyrically, musically and physically. Following in the footsteps of so many iconic Irish female artists, Toria is a refreshing musical voice that demands to be heard.
‘”Belief,” is one of my later creations, and during the writing process I wanted to see how heavy I could go with it. I’ve always liked listening to heavier rock and up until this track I had been too afraid to try to implement that into my own music. I really let go during the initial writing stages and just said what I needed to say all within this song; I still find it very therapeutic to perform this during my live set.’
Toria trained in classical piano from an early age, moving between alternative pop ballads and Beethoven. Her desire for more musical outlets led her to guitar, singing and eventually song writing. Having spent time growing up living in different parts of Ireland, she began testing out her new material at musician gatherings in small Irish towns. Toria’s passion for music in its many forms and her desire to write and perform ever more poetic compositions led her to music performance college in Dublin where she earned her degree. Toria is now constantly performing with her band throughout Ireland at festivals and spotlight venues as well as writing and recording music.
