Who or what is your musical inspiration?
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Tarrey Torae draws inspiration from soul legends like Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, and James Brown, as well as pop icon Michael Jackson. Her artistry also reflects the storytelling prowess of MC Lyte and Slick Rick, and the musical innovation of The Roots. Collaborations with poet J. Ivy further showcase her blend of R&B, hip-hop, and spoken word. Torae’s music embodies a rich tapestry of soulful melodies and empowering narratives.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizen Festival means everything to me. It’s a chance to share my heart, my voice, and my message with people from all over the world. This platform allows me to connect in a deeper way—soul to soul—with those who may be hearing me for the first time. I truly believe music opens hearts and minds, and I’m grateful for this moment to be seen, heard, and felt on such a powerful stage.
What would you do with $50,000?
With $50,000, I’d create and release soul-stirring music, produce visuals that bring my stories to life, and reach new global audiences. I’d tour, mentor young artists, and use my voice to uplift and inspire. This isn’t just about music—it’s about impact, healing, and legacy.
