About Me

Singer. Songwriter. Arranger. From a very young age Torica has always had an uncanny ability to get people’s attention, it just so happens that she is blessed with the gift of song. She landed her first major label feature with DTP/Geffen recording artist Field Mob on their radio hit single, “Sick of Being Lonely,” produced by Jazze Pha.The huge commercial success led to Soul Train Music, Grammy, Source, and Billboard Music award nominations and several appearances on nationally and internationally-known radio, print, internet, and television (BET, MTV, MTV2, MTV Jams, Fuse, Music Choice, VH-1, Jimmy Kimmel Show, Soul Train). The single spent several weeks rising on and topping the Billboard charts and dominating Top 40 Radio. This early achievement in Torica’s career only materialized into her being featured on 6 major/independent releases to date. Her work thus far has accumulated over 1 million album sales, all without a record deal.Torica has recently inked a lucrative publishing deal with Bryan-Michael Cox and Warner Music Group and has been working nonstop on projects for Monica, Amerie, J. Lo, Ciara, and Tiffany Evans. She has penned lyrics and recorded with some of the music industry's most successful artists and producers.Torica astonishingly balances life as a singer, songwriter, arranger, aspiring model, and mother. Spending countless hours has definitely paid off, as she has become a self-taught recording engineer. She tries to learn something from everyone she works with. Every song is a chance to discover something new about her creative alter ego, she enthusiastically states, “I love making music and am fascinated by the process of creating something out of nothing...taking a track and bringing it to life is still excites me every time, I'll stop creating when I am no longer excited...which will probably be NEVER."She is represented by Woodland Entertainment Group, who could not deny that Torica is destined to be successful; she has a rare work ethic, an undying determination to win, she never gives up, has an incredible hustle, takes direction, is immensely talented and gracefully humble. Torica acknowledges there is no easy path to the top, but understands that not succeeding is not trying, if you never try, only then have you failed. Her piece of advice to anyone pursuing a dream is, “the only limit you have in life is the one you put on yourself, it is not enough to just dream, work hard for the dream, and it will become reality.” ..
