about tori
Tori Gideon is a rock artist fueled by creativity, joy, and purpose. Her music is bold, energetic, and alive—made to remind listeners that while growing in maturity and wisdom matters, losing the joy of play doesn’t have to be part of the deal.

Her rock is about freedom—freedom to create, to imagine, to move, and to live with intention. It’s music that encourages listeners to unplug from the chaos and reconnect with what’s real, good, and life-giving.

EXPERIENCE
From a young age, Tori Gideon has been immersed in live performance, building a strong foundation through musical theater and music.
She began on stage in youth productions including Frozen Jr., Willy Wonka Jr., Mary Poppins Jr., The Jungle Book Jr., and Twice Upon a Time, where she developed confidence, discipline, and a natural connection with audiences.
As her artistry grew, Tori expanded beyond theater into live band performances, singing with local bands and performing at well-known venues, including the Hard Rock Cafe Atlanta. These experiences helped shape her dynamic stage presence and reinforced her love for high-energy, live music environments.
Tori is now under active artist development and currently producing her debut album, Meant 2B, under the guidance of renowned vocal coach and producer Jan Smith (“Mama Jan”). Her debut single, Glitter Punk 1985, is set for release on February 17, 2026, marking the launch of her official music career.
She is also currently collaborating with Mama Jan Smith and Jesse Owen Astin on her second single, Jericho’s Wall, scheduled for release in late spring to early summer 2026. Together, these projects reflect Tori’s evolution into a bold rock artist driven by creativity, joy, and purpose—ready to bring her sound to a growing audience.

Glitter Punk 1985
Released on February 17, 2026!
Debut single
Glitter Punk 1985 is Tori Gideon’s debut single—and a joyful call for kids to be kids again.
Inspired by imagination, play, and real-world adventure, Glitter Punk 1985 invites kids to put screens down, step outside, and reconnect with what makes childhood special. The song celebrates roller skating with friends, loud music, bold colors, and making memories face-to-face—moments that are real, fun, and impossible to fake.
The heart behind Glitter Punk 1985 was sparked when Tori discovered the energy of the 1980s through a favorite TV series. She was drawn to a time when kids played together in person, friendships were built through shared adventures, and creativity had room to run free. That carefree spirit became the foundation for a song that encourages imagination, presence, and connection.
At just 12 years old, Tori wrote her first original single as a reminder that childhood is meant to be lived—not rushed. Glitter Punk 1985 blends retro-inspired pop-rock energy with a powerful message: it’s okay to be loud, creative, playful, and fully yourself.
After the song came together, Tori took her dream to Jan Smith Studios, where she is currently under artistic development with award-winning producer and vocal coach Mama Jan Smith, alongside co-producer Jesse Owen Astin. There, her vision was shaped into a bold, fun debut that reflects both her creativity and her heart.
More than just a song, Glitter Punk 1985 carries a purpose. Tori is honored to partner with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, with a portion of proceeds from this release supporting children and families affected by pediatric cancer.
Glitter Punk 1985 is an invitation—to imagine more, play harder, connect deeply, and embrace the joy of being a kid.

Jericho’s Wall
Jericho’s Wall is a bold, defiant war cry—a song about standing up to the lies we hear and the lies we sometimes tell ourselves.
Those voices can come from everywhere, but at their core they’re meant to make us doubt our worth, our value, and our purpose.
This song flips that script.
Inspired by the biblical story of Jericho, Jericho’s Wall calls listeners to shout truth instead of believing untruth—to check every thought against what is real: that we were created with intention, value, and great purpose. Our talents matter. Our creativity matters. Our minds and gifts are not accidents—they are on purpose and for something meaningful.
Instead of falling into a downward spiral of doubt, this song invites you to rise up. To sing loud. To stomp. To clap. To fight the mental battle with truth until the walls come down. And when they do, they aren’t rebuilt with fear or shame—but with a solid foundation of value and identity.
Jericho’s Wall is energetic, physical, and empowering—music you don’t just listen to, but participate in. You’ll feel it in your chest, in your feet, and in your spirit as you break through and remember who you really are.
Sing loud. Shout truth. Watch the wall fall.
