Editor's note

Tori Kelly's clear, soulful voice and handmade songs

A singer who built her sound from YouTube covers to gospel and pop collaborations.

For a good sense of her range, listen to 'Dear No One' and 'I Was Made for Loving You.' They frame that voice pretty well.

She started posting cover videos to YouTube when she was around 12, and that DIY spirit carried into her first album, 'Handmade Songs by Tori Kelly.' You can hear that same clear, soulful quality on quieter tracks like 'Dear No One' and in bigger productions like 'I Was Made for Loving You' with Ed Sheeran. Her 2018 gospel album 'Hiding Place' showed a different side, with 'Never Alone' featuring Kirk Franklin.

Her first album came out in 2012, followed by 'Unbreakable Smile' in 2015 with songs like 'Nobody Love.' She's recorded with artists like Ed Sheeran and Pharrell Williams, and put out a self-titled album in 2020.

Archive material and source history

Tori Kelly grew up in Wildomar, California and started posting cover videos to YouTube when she was around 12. Her first album, 'Handmade Songs by Tori Kelly,' came out in 2012. She worked on it herself, which gave the title its meaning.

Her second album, 'Unbreakable Smile' from 2015, had songs like 'Nobody Love' and 'Should've Been Us' that did well on the charts. She's recorded with other artists too, like on 'I Was Made for Loving You' with Ed Sheeran and 'I Say a Little Prayer' with Pharrell Williams.

In 2018 she put out 'Hiding Place,' a gospel album that included 'Never Alone' with Kirk Franklin. She followed that with a self-titled album in 2020. Her singing has a clear, soulful quality that comes through on quieter tracks like 'Dear No One' and 'Paper Hearts' as much as on the bigger productions.
