"music gears"? If that means to list my gear, I decline to do so. I have a bunch of pro guitars and amps and keys and percussion and I am just starting into a bit of sax and horn but not enough to add it to my skills list yet. |

Tori Clay is a professional entertainer and multi faceted artist, primarily a SAGAFTRA member actress but also a graphic artist and author and the first transgender female art model to be signed to an agency contract. As a male actor, she came close to making it big more than once. When she started to transition to female, her agent dropped her and she has only had a couple plays in the interim. She was lauded for her work in the first one though. About 2 months ago, she got back to music. She had not played and sang for anyone since she was a kid with perfect hearing. Now she is old and deaf with hearing aids and so it is hard to have the confidence that is so crucial to performing because she is never sure that what she hears is what the listener hears. Her current musical journey started with a chance performance when a friend's band offered her the stage at the end of their first set during the break. She got a fantastic reaction to her original song and wound up doing 5. Emboldened by that, she did a talent show and some open mics followed by a 4th of July gig in the bandstand on historic Boston Common and then a week ago playing in the Boston Figment Festival which is a festival that happens all over the country for arts of all kinds. There has never been a bad response. The music is original, socially conscious rock sung and accompanied by her guitar.
