Tori Costa

Infusing Portuguese & Americana folk roots into a global pop palette of sound, Tori Costa carves out a niche fusion genre of Luso-Americano Soft Rock that is boundary-pushing, exotically enchanting, and entirely her own concoction. Her distinctly recognizable contralto reminisces on the fado tradition, melded into a vulnerable yet provocative rock-and-roll delivery that is simultaneously nostalgic and cutting-edge.

Her bold artistry moves audiences to new heights with her crowd intuition, clever humor and versatility as a multi-instrumentalist with a dance background. A certified multi-hyphenate, Tori composes her bilingual serenades with astute vision, reflected by the creativity and originality of her self-directed music videos and live shows. Costa’s Azorean heritage and southern New England origins are evident throughout her lyrical themes and musical portrayals.

Truly a cross-cultural artist, Tori released her six-track EP, I’m Not A-mused: Act I in 2024 as a variety pop/rock compilation of her best English-language tunes. Her debut short-length is a behind-the-scenes commentary on her introduction to the smoke-and-mirrors of the entertainment world, featuring hit songs Hippie Love Affair and Heart Attack featuring Keiyana Marie Trinidad.

Pivoting now into a sophisticated smorgasbord of Lusitano influence, Tori is currently recording her debut full-length, Purgatoria, a bilingual concept album tied to the Purgatorio installment of the Divine Comedy by classical Italian poet, Dante Alighieri. Gearing up for this highly-anticipated release, Tori has shared the stage in 2025 with national and international touring acts, including Neal & The Vipers, Romeu Bairos and Williams Maninho Nascimento. She has already previewed her evolving sound with singles Miguel and Vergonha, and will continue to tease a few more tracks in the coming months before the full project drops in November.
