Thank you. It's great to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
She's right now, Tory Kelly with this year one of
two point seven Kiss FM.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
How many years ago do we meet you, Tory?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Oh my goodness, I mean you I've met when I
was sixteen on American Idol, but on the show. I
must have gone on the show in twenty fifteen. I
think when my first single came out.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, your life the world music in general, how it's
completely evolved.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Here's Tory Kelly's first audition way back.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Then, Oh gus, I got to do it. Oh why
much eighty is good in Kansas? Stay like one half cook,
it's one and more. It's going to semits moteen guys.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Sixteen, I even.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Get to the Yeah, I even get to the big note.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, we're gonna have you do it live. Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
When you listen to the sixteen, you and then you
think about the Tory Kelly that just performed on the
stage that we saw you at the Alani for the
idle contestants, how do you measure the growth? Like how
are you? I hear it, but like how do you
look at your difference?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I mean, even just hearing that, I feel like I
sound nervous, like I can hear the little quivers in
my voice, and and I just I think I had
so much to prove back then, you know, I was like,
this is my this is my shot, Like I have
to be the best I can be. And I remember
in the audition area, and I mean the contestants will
(02:13):
will relate to this, but everyone was just singing all
the time at like so it created this sort of
pressure and this kind of heightened like intensity because you're
hearing all these other singers and then you're like, Okay,
well I should be practicing too, but I don't want
to like ruin my voice like people would end up,
you know, messing up their voice because they're over rehearsing.
(02:35):
So anyway, yeah, hearing that, I'm just like it just
everything felt so intense, and I think now having the
career that I have and having kind of put the
work in, I guess I feel like I'm actually able
to enjoy it now, like I can kind of settle
in and be like, oh, this is this is like fun,
you know when I think about, you know, being in
Hawaii and doing cool things like.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That, and she was just there in Hawaii. You can
see that actually on American Idols can be some Monday
on ABC and streaming on Hulu the next day. But
Toy came back to mentor the contestants, and I was
thinking about when I was going to see you, and
we hadn't spoken. Life is going well, You're in this
great chapter. Things are happening. You continue to have this
(03:16):
amazing energy and fans that just love you, right, fans
that really look out for you and want the best
for you. And then as life is going on, you
have this medical emergency, which is a real scare for you. Yeah,
tell me about music at that point and how you
just started to look at like differently after what happened,
because it was a blood clot, right or blood clots
(03:37):
in your legs and lungs.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, yeah, they so. I it was super scary. I
basically ended up, uh just collapsing one night, and it
was super scary. I yeah, I was, you know, in
the hospital, and I was I was set to put
out an EP like a few days later, so I
was kind of you know, I came back to like
(03:58):
in the hospital, I was like, okay, like, I'm so
good for my interviews tomorrow, right, Like, I gotta get
out of here. And the doctors were like, no, like,
I think it's a little more serious than that. So
I thankfully I was in really good hands and you know,
they took care of me. I'm so grateful to be
on the other side of it now. I'm feeling great.
I'm healthy, which is just to do.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Anything differently with life after something like that.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
The only Yeah, no, I mean I'm on like a
medication right now, like a blood thinner essentially, But I
feel I feel fine, Like I feel totally back to normal.
In some ways, I feel better than ever, I think,
just with you know, the excitement of the new music
and stuff. But yeah, I went on tour, you know,
shortly after, and I think the main thing was I
(04:45):
for me, was I felt more. I think I just
feel more grateful in general, just for for life. I
think I always had this sort of like gratefulness. You know,
I'm so happy this and that. But I think when
you have a health scare like that and you realize
how fragile life is and how fragile we all are,
and you have you know, your friends and family and
(05:07):
all these loved ones were reaching out and it was
this overwhelming amount of love towards me, and I was like, WHOA, Like,
I just want to cherish every moment. I think that
is the That's kind of what I channeled into this
music too. I think, you know, before the health scare,
I thought my album was done, and then after it happened,
I was like, oh wait, no, I need a like
(05:28):
this song is missing. There was like two songs that
I added just because life felt different. High Water was
one of them, and then I have another song called
same Girl. And there's a lot of depth in those
songs that I felt like I was having so much
fun with the sound and like yay, and then it
felt like that side was sort of missing from the album.
So after everything happened, it was like, oh, this feels
(05:48):
way more well rounded now.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Tory Kelly with this the album is called Tory Period
and here is a little high water that she's talked about.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Is something the mom for What am.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
No, I don't know what's on.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I'm glad you added this song. Yeah, we need we
all need this song, right, Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, that was that was my hope is like it
started the inspo you know, came from everything that happened,
and and I kind of pulled from a friend's story
to who lost her husband tragically. But then it became Okay,
I hope now now that I've gotten this out of
my system, now, I hope that you know, and anything
that someone might be going through that they can hopefully
(06:44):
be uplifted by a song like this.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And also thinking about what you said, we need to
not let a health scare take us to the place.
Yeah appreciation right, because it it does slap you in
the face and go, wait a minute, life's not so bad, right,
we need to all sort of and I'm guilty of
it too.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
We take things for granted.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
We should like take a little less for granted today
and be a little bit more grateful. And Tory, we
were grateful for your generosity. She already so good with
the contestant. They loved working with your It's probably such
a treat because she's been there, she's done it, she
did it in sixteen, and we have sixteen year old
contestant's right.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, wow, man, I had such a blast. Honestly, I
knew I had a feeling I would enjoy it, but
being there, I didn't expect to enjoy it that much.
I was like, I'm having nice fun. Yeah exactly. So yeah, man,
I was so grateful to be there and hopefully, you know,
give whatever. Basically, I was just really speaking for my
(07:41):
own experience, because, like you said, I can put myself
in their shoes very easily. So it was just kind
of like a full circle moment for me too.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You're awesome and you got to see Tory be in
this full circle moment. Also perform that song high Water
