Tori began playing piano at the age of five, inspired by her desire to be “a piano player like MawMaw Freda.” By sixteen, she was serving as a church pianist, beginning a love of church music that has continued throughout her life. Saved at thirteen, Tori’s faith and music have always gone hand in hand. Tori especially enjoys sharing her love of music with children and encouraging the next generation of church musicians. That passion led her to start The Songbirds, a children’s choir focused on helping young people grow in both music and faith. Tori and her husband, David, live in Poquoson, Virginia.
