Daily Inspiration: Meet Bri Toria

Today we’d like to introduce you to Bri Toria.

Bri , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I began making music as a way to survive my own truth. What started in solitude evolved into sound that travels. Through relentless independence, I built my path from the ground up, taking my voice on the road, connecting with people city by city. My music now moves through multiple states and across borders, carried by listeners who see themselves in my story.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
My path involved learning to trust my own voice before external recognition followed. In the early stages, my work did not always receive immediate visibility or support, which challenged me to define success on my own terms. By committing fully to my sound and message, I cultivated an authentic connection with listeners who resonated deeply with my story. That organic growth helped shape a community around my music and led to wider recognition over time. What once felt like being unseen ultimately became a grounding force, reinforcing the importance of self-belief, consistency, and creative integrity.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m known for my multidisciplinary approach as an artist. Music is my foundation, blending alternative RnB with personal storytelling. My background in dance shapes my live performances, while modeling extends my work into visual and fashion spaces. Together, these elements create a cohesive, expressive presence across sound, movement, and image.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
Believe in yourself, regardless of outside opinions. Prioritizing your mental health is essential, because as you grow, unchecked fear or ego can keep you stagnant and cause you to miss opportunities meant for you.
