Биография
Toryn Green is an American rock singer and actor. He is the former vocalist for hard-rock band Fuel, as well as for Emphatic, and For The Taking. He also was the touring lead vocalist for the band Apocalyptica and performed in both of its 2008 US Worlds Collide Tours. Green was chosen the lead vocalist of hard rock band Fuel from over 1000 submissions on world wide website auditions held in early 2006 to replace Brett Scallions. He recorded and submitted his version of the song "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" two hours after hearing about the open website audition from a friend. Thinking that wasn't enough to stand out, he went on to buy instrumental versions of "Bad Day" and "Innocent", made a medley out of those songs with "Hemorrhage", and submitted it under a different email account. In the end, both his entries were listed among twelve finalists.
While auditioning for Fuel, Green met Scott Weiland (Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots). Scott showed immediate excited over the recordings Toryn had recently done with Something To Burn and offered him a deal through his label, Softdrive Records. Around that same time, however, Fuel had made their offer, and Green had to decide between two contracts.
Green signed with Fuel in July 2006, before entering the studio to record the band's next album for Epic Records from August to November 2006. The official announcement of Green being the next frontman for Fuel wasn't made until April 19, 2007 on Extra TV show, exactly a year after the live auditions in Los Angeles. He co-wrote "Halos of the Son" with Jeff Abercrombie and former "Patience Worth" bandmate, Ryan Giles, and released it on their album Angels & Devils on August 7, 2007. The band toured in support of the album through early 2008 and appeared live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and TLC's season finale of LA Ink, where Green was featured getting ambigram tattoo on his forearm.
When Fuel went into hiatus in 2008, Green joined Finnish cello rock band Apocalyptica as their touring lead vocalist on both US legs of Worlds Collide tour, and again at Apocalyptica's US television debut on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly.
Green soon became the new lead vocalist for the Omaha-based hard-rock band Emphatic, replacing the former singer Patrick Wilson, as announced on Green's Twitter and the band's Facebook on October 25, 2012. The band released a record titled Another Life on October 22, 2013. The single "Remember Me", written by Justin McCain, Toryn Green, and Sahaj Ticotin, impacted radio on July 30, 2013, and was released on iTunes August 20, 2013. Both the album and the single charted in the Top 30 on Billboard and Mediabase rock charts, and the band had plans of touring in support of the album in 2014. However, Green didn't join Emphatic on tour with RED. On February 9, 2014 Green announced his departure from Emphatic, stating creative differences with founder Justin McCain. He is currently focusing on his undergrad degree and heading into the field of Medicine,while simultaneously continuing his music and acting career. Toryn is preparing to begin working on "Skate God" which will be shot in Lousiana in early 2015.
