Several traumatic events in her life have left her with a need to inspire and motivate the world, creating unity through her art.

The world saw Tora on The X Factor USA, where she was mentored by Simon Cowell. Following X Factor, Tora signed with a label in Miami and did a small radio tour when her song 'Guns and Roses' hit top 40 stations worldwide. She later became independent, choreographing and producing a 3 month tour in China.

As she works on several different projects, Woloshin Is a genre-bending, multi-faceted artist on the rise; and looking for more opportunities to utilize her creative mind, body and soul; while inspiring, motivating and changing the world.
Through my art, I dabble in a lot of different mediums, but music, dance, film and performance are my most expressed. I also do painting, photography, video directing/editing, installation, clothing design, restoring instruments and woodwork. My performance art consists of: singing/songwriting, dancing, modeling and acting. I became a SAG union actress and radio artist in 2016 and have created, produced and choreographed over 10 touring shows. The other forms of art that I make range from abstract to realistic. For me, it’s not about the form of art or the medium chosen because at the end of the day, the medium choses me. It’s about creating different ways to vividly and efficiently express and translate from feeling, emotion and experience, into art. I write music to express myself through words and through the melodic frequencies of song and chord progressions. This is when I tell the stories of my life, struggles, heartbreaks and goals in a more direct way of communication. Through my music, I am reaching out to those who struggle with pain and trauma; providing an essence of light and wisdom that reflects on different situations people are faced with throughout life. I’ve dedicated my life and art to positivity and a sense of uplifting inspiration and motivation. I use dance to express myself when words cannot. I use photography to capture moments so special and pure, in human and in nature; that we don’t have the luck of experiencing everyday. I paint abstract art to translate internal feelings I don’t always understand. And my realistic paintings take the reality of life and invigorate its existence by changing the background or translating an interesting angle that might better define the statement. For example, I painted an non-representative abstract piece called ‘Unconditional Love’. This piece creates verbiage that I just can not explain enough in depth through words or realism. There are bright shades of purple, blue, teal and pinkish neutral color surrounded by textures, shapes and swirls. This was my way of expressing the feeling and intention when experiencing unconditional love from yourself to another. The emotions that ride with it and the need to insure the other creature’s happiness. I have also painted a realistic diptych of a 1969 Boss 429 Mustang. The first painting is a side/front view at an angle with a vibrant mountain sunset behind it. The second of the pair is the rear end of the same car. This duo tells the stories of when I went to school for automotive technology and raced older people’s cars when they were no longer able to. I once raced the boss 429. One of only 200 that were made, not to mention, my all time favorite pony. I even wrote a song about it, also called ‘The Boss’; where I explain how the car was invented and structured and talk about winning races! Through filmmaking, I manipulate the storyline in order to provide lessons and a change in perspectives; while creating visuals to express growth, perseverance and positivity through healing. Now, when it comes to writing music, I want to motivate and inspire those who have a hard time healing and coping; in any way, shape and form.
