Award Winning Anti-bullying Advocate Torrey Mercer Releases new single Lies and Lipstick

LOS ANGELES - Oct. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- "Lies and Lipstick" is a co-write by Torrey Mercer and John Velasquez of Max and the Moon and produced by Barrett Slagle of ArtiSans Label. As Torrey describes, it's a song I wrote about girls.

"I wanted to write a song like this for years, that exposes some of the ridiculous behavior that some women throw at each other and how petty it can be. You'd think it stops after high school, but in my experience, it doesn't. So that song is my satirical way of bringing the issue to the life and making a point about the behavior." - Torrey Mercer

In 2011 Torrey was invited onto a National Anti-bullying tour, on both the East and the West Coast, where she performed at Boys and Girls Clubs, Summer Camps, and even Six Flags to talk to kids about ending bullying. Since the tour, Torrey has connected with schools across the state of California to talk to assemblies of children about the importance of speaking up and standing up for themselves when being bullied. Since the No Bully Tour, Torrey was inspired to reach out and work with charities such as the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the National Eating Disorder Association, Rady’s Children’s Hospital in San Diego, The Trevor Project, and Natural High. Torrey has worked hard to inspire thousands of kids all the way down the coast of California anywhere from ages K-8 at schools.

Torrey is a firm believer that bullying causes of a variety of issues, such as depression, self-harming, suicide, eating disorders, low self-esteem, and even abuse. Torrey tries to reach out to kids of all ages on a regular basis in hopes that one day, she could change some of their lives, and help them on their road to recovery.

"I think the thing that makes me stand out is my motivational speaking, and my work with real middle schoolers as part of my own antibullying program. The fact that I can speak to kids for 90 minutes about bullying and building character is something I am very proud of, and that in pairing with my music I believe is what makes me unique as a pop artist."
