Tora Fisher is a New York-based singer-songwriter and performance artist. Her father founded the Fisher House Foundation, a network of comfort homes for military families. Tora developed a keen interest in both the arts and this philanthropic work.

At 13, Tora was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed her father and stepmother. Music and performance aided her recovery and pursuit of her dreams as a recording artist. She now supports the Fisher House Foundation by donating proceeds from her CDs.

As Tora aptly puts it, "it's not about what happened to me; it's about what's happening."
