Seeking nothing more than to shed light on the human experience, Tori Roze is a key artist in conveying the emotional intent behind a song.

Since the release of their "old school jazz" style debut album "From the Hip" (recorded in one day and completed in three by multiple Grammy Award winning engineer Alan Sanderson), Tori Roze and The Hot Mess have been blazing a trail with local & regional media not to mention playing alongside the likes of The Bird & The Bee, Margaret Cho, and JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound. Although their first "official" release as a group, the album was nominated for Best Blues Album in the 2011 San Diego Music Awards.
