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.

In a world crowded with noise, bad news, constant screens, and controlling messages about who you should be, Tori’s sound pushes back. 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.

Her songs are meant to be played loud—music that sparks creativity, lifts the spirit, and reminds you that joy is worth protecting.

From a young age, Tori Gideon has been immersed in live performance, building a strong foundation through musical theater and music. 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, was released on February 17, 2026, marking the launch of her official music career.

This is rock with heart, purpose, and light.

Glitter Punk 1985

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, the song invites kids to put screens down, step outside, and reconnect with what makes childhood special, from roller skating with friends to loud music, bold colors, and making memories face-to-face. Sparked when Tori discovered the energy of the 1980s through a favorite TV series, it blends retro-inspired pop-rock energy with a powerful message: it's okay to be loud, creative, playful, and fully yourself.

Written by Tori at just 12 years old and shaped at Jan Smith Studios with Mama Jan Smith and co-producer Jesse Owen Astin, Glitter Punk 1985 also carries a purpose, with a portion of proceeds supporting children and families affected by pediatric cancer through Tori's partnership with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

SECOND SINGLE

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.

Inspired by the biblical story of Jericho, the song calls listeners to shout truth instead of believing untruth—to remember that we were created with intention, value, and great purpose, and that our talents, creativity, and minds are not accidents. Instead of falling into a downward spiral of doubt, it invites you to rise up, sing loud, stomp, clap, and fight the mental battle with truth until the walls come down, then rebuild on a solid foundation of value and identity. Energetic, physical, and empowering, it's music you don't just listen to, but participate in. Sing loud. Shout truth. Watch the wall fall.
