Toryn Green (born November 3, 1975) 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 has recorded and released two full-length studio albums: Angels & Devils (Epic, 2007) with Fuel, and Another Life (Epochal Artists, 2013) with Emphatic.
For 2016, Green will be making his acting debut playing the villain's right-hand man Beckett in a skateboard-themed dystopian fantasy/sci-fi action film titled Skate God, written by Alexander Garcia and directed by Art Camacho. He is also co-writing a song for the film soundtrack with Brian Vodinh of 10 Years. The film will be shot in Louisiana and is slated for release in June 2017. Green has also released independently four solo singles, titled "Up To You", "Devil Standing Alone", "Lost in the Light", and "Takedown" digitally worldwide.
Toryn was raised in Palmer, Alaska, where he graduated from Colony High School in 1994. Growing up Green was inspired by bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Bush, Metallica, Tool, and Fuel. His father was very musical and he says he gained a lot of inspiration through him. He used to sing with his father since he was a small boy, but his first public solo performance was at Alaska State Fair. He moved to California in October 1998 to pursue career in music.
Green took his songwriting to the stage in his first band "Patience Worth", with band members Orion Rainz, Ryan Giles, and Cesar Guevarra. They recorded a few songs together, but eventually the band was moving in different creative directions. With his next band, Southern California rock band Something To Burn, Green won a Rock Beijing Global competition and was invited to play to thousands at the Midi festival in Beijing in October 2005. Two months later they represented America in the Worldwide Battle of the Bands held in Hong Kong. With STB Green recorded an EP entitled The Incinerator, which was released in April 2006.
