Get ready for a new musical obsession, babes. In
anticipation of his forthcoming debut studio album, we got to know
Torion Sellers, Lil Wayne’s protégé,
and we have a feeling this 14-year-old cutie is about to blow up the charts!
A Georgia native and son of a musician and preacher, Torion
impressed his now manager singing at church. And in no time, Lil Wayne singed
him to his Young Money Entertainment label. This multi-talented teen has
already released three EPs (The
Initiation Vol. 2, Torion MixTape
Vol. 2, The Initiation Vol. 1), and his latest one, The Initiation Vol. 3, is
debuting exclusively with us right here!
When we recently chatted with Torion about his new tunes, he
singled out one song in particular: “Smile.” “It’s about just having a smile on
your face, and always being happy,” Torion tells us. And while he’s busy
stealing hearts all over the world with the song’s music vid (check it out
below), he also spills it’s about everyone’s girl and, “how beautiful she is
and how beautiful her smile is,” just to them. A sensitive artist—just what we
need!
The hype about “Smile” is true: Its heavy beat drops behind
Torion’s beautiful, harmonious voice. And his voice is spotlighted even more in
another of our Initiation Vol. 3
faves, “Reality Is,” where you get to know and love the real Torion and see his
desire to be a “real” popstar to his fans.
“It’s music you can really listen to and feel,” Torion
explains of his overall sound, considered to be a mix between Chris Brown,
Usher and classic R&B. And if you like the tunes on his EPs, you’re in
luck! Torion hints a few of his personal faves will end up on his full-length
debut studio album.
So get listening, babes. Torion has talent, is a total sweetheart
and has a downright positive message to share. We can’t wait to see what he
does next!
