Inspired by the raw honesty of Neil Young’s Harvest and the timeless voice of Joan Baez, Toria Richings picked up a guitar at 11 and never put it down. What began as learning chords quickly became songwriting using music as a way to tell stories, process emotion, and connect with others.

Born in the north of England, raised in the Cotswolds before making her home in Sydney, Australia, Toria honed her craft playing pubs and intimate rooms, developing a signature storytelling style rooted in honesty and lived experience. A pivotal turning point came following the loss of her mother, when a gifted studio session became a form of healing, leading to her debut EP and the beginning of her journey as a country-roots artist.

Now an award-winning Americana songwriter, Toria has built a growing international presence, showcasing at major industry events and forging deep creative ties within the Nashville community. Known for songs that balance resilience with vulnerability, she writes music that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.

With each release, Toria invites listeners into stories shaped by heart, grit, and the belief that music has the power to carry us through life’s most meaningful moments.
