Courageous, committed and smart; qualities that now Tori Hathaway brings to her daily work as an artist, creator and entrepreneur. A seasoned-veteran, Tori has been the driving force behind her artist business since 2012 and has been an internationally-touring member of the AFM Local 149 since age 15. She is the youngest recipient of the Governor General Michaëlle Jean Young Arts Entrepreneur award, and the founder of OMCI - the Ontario Musicians Co-operative Inc, a not-for-profit that assists other creatives build sustainable careers, and currently acts as the Artistic Director Emeritus for the program.

​

Although a natural performer at ease on stage, Tori’s true love is crafting a song that reaches out and holds a place for the listener to experience and emotional connection. “All that I want is someone to be able to hear or relate to one of my songs, and have it help them through a moment in their life, whether it be celebrating a win, or processing a loss.”, says Tori, “It’s all about the songs, and the people who connect with them”.
