Rooted in Rhythm, Born to Shine

From the heart of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to the Southern streets of Riverdale, Georgia, Bri Toria’s journey is a map of music, spirit, and self-discovery. Now blooming in the Arizona sun, this soulful artist has carved out a lane all her own. Her love for music isn't something she stumbled into—it runs deep in her bloodline. Her mother, a gifted singer with dreams of owning her own label, and her father, a passionate artist, both poured into Bri’s creativity from the start. Music was more than background noise in her home; it was the heartbeat of her family legacy.

From Silence to Song: Finding Her Voice

Despite being surrounded by music, Bri Toria’s journey to embrace her own voice was anything but simple. For years, she wrestled with doubt, unsure if her sound was worthy of being heard. Even as opportunities knocked and artists asked her to collaborate, she often said no—not because she lacked talent, but because she hadn’t yet fallen in love with her own sound.

But the universe has a way of redirecting us when we forget who we are. Guided by her spiritual aunt, who helped her understand the power of signs and divine alignment, Bri slowly began to reconnect with her voice. And when she finally shared it with the world, the response was undeniable. Every nod of approval, every moment of resonance, became a stepping stone to confidence. Her healing began with the music, and now she uses that same magic to heal others.

Soulful Sound, Global Vision

Inspired by the timeless Sade, Bri Toria’s music is a frequency shift—the kind of sound that calms the storm, that holds space for joy and pain all at once. Her art is intentional, raw, and filled with purpose. She’s on a mission to make her younger self proud, creating not just songs but safe spaces for the soul to breathe.

“I want people to be healed by my story,” she says. “We all go through the same things—it just looks different.” - Bri Toria

Short-term, Bri hopes to perform in the state she now calls home, sharing her gifts with those closest to her. Long-term, her sights are set on global stages and soulful adventures abroad. She dreams of living overseas, creating music without boundaries, and inspiring others by simply being herself. In her words, she’s aiming to be “successful and lowkey”—a soft life vision grounded in purpose, not pressure.

The Mixtape Queens Salute

At The Mixtape Queens, we honor the journey—the trials, the triumphs, and the truth-telling. Bri Toria’s story is a reminder that our most authentic selves are often the key to our freedom. She’s proof that you can take your time, nurture your voice, and still make waves.

“Putting yourself in a box and not being yourself is what causes depression. You’ll get further in life by unapologetically being your truest self. Don’t allow the world to make you feel that you can’t. And when people are trying to bring you down, remember you’re battling the spirit, not the flesh. Create your story—there are so many people out there waiting to hear it. And your story could be the one thing they need to hear. Elevate your soul.”

With words like these, Bri isn’t just singing songs. She’s leading a movement.

And this is only the beginning.
