During this episode I get a chance to speak with singer songwriter Torshia. She is a light to behold. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with her. She had some great insights on the courage of setting boundaries, especially with family members. I personally just love speaking with her and I hope you enjoyed this conversation has well!
Singer songwriter Torshia’s music infuses the funk and soul of the 70s, 90s R&B, and reminiscent harmonies of gospel- creating beautiful melodic music that fills the mind and takes listeners on an enchanting soulful ride.
Born in Atlanta but raise in ,the city of Rhythm and Blue, Memphis, Tennessee - Torshia pulls inspiration from Memphis natives such as the Bar-Kays, Otis Redding, and Ann Peebles. As well as studying the great sweet soulful and funky sounds of Aretha Franklin, The Isley Brothers, Chaka Khan, and Tina Turner. Singing as long as she could talk ,her father would expose her to her love of funk and soul and, her mother in love with gospel and the smooth sound of 90s R&B combined with classical music training in her adolescence years would allow her to merge these worlds to create the magic listeners get to experience today.
Torshia released her debut EP in 2017 entitled Light(her). Her Sophomore project is set to release summer of 2022.
