Torrey Salter (born July 15, 1988) is an Alternative rock singer/songwriter, pianist, and guitarist from Birmingham, Alabama. He began writing music at the age of 17 after being encouraged by his family and friends and influenced by Coldplay and The Fray.[2]
Childhood and youth
Salter was raised in a Christian home, the second of four children (a sister Taira and brothers Titus and Trey). He became more musically active at age 16 while taking piano and vocal lessons.
At Auburn University, he began singing and playing piano at weddings around town. His family and friends encouraged him to learn popular songs and to eventually write his own. He switched his major to Music Performance and began his full-time music career by releasing his first single, "Bring Me Back".[2]
