I first came across Tori Kelly’s music a couple of years ago after she auditioned for “American Idol.”


She’s another one of the Inland artists who has been blowing up at the South By Southwest Music conference (a.k.a. SXSW) in Austin, Texas this week.

She met Kenny Loggins, watched Coachella 2013 performer Allen Stone, pop rockers Paramore and performed plenty of her own sets. Here’s a little of what she has been up to in Austin.
