Life and career She was born in New York, New York, United States, to a father who was a pilot in the United States Air Force, and a mother who worked as a fashion model.

In January 2015, the veteran English record producer Mike Vernon, received a Keeping The Music Alive Award at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. Later at the event Schorr performed a couple of numbers, and Vernon was so impressed with her that he offered to come out of retirement and produce her debut album. She also made some appearances on television including on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

In 2018, Schorr released her sophomore album, Never Say Never. The tracks were recorded live to capture the energy of her live performances. Never Say Never was produced by Henning Gehrke and mixed by Tom Tapley. In 2020, Schorr released her first live album, Live in Europe, again via Manhaton Records. The 12-track collection was recorded during her then recent touring obligations, and incorporated original songs from her two studio albums along with reworked versions of "Black Betty" and "I Just Want to Make Love to You", both audience favorites. She has collaborated with others for humanitarian causes, including on "Toast to Freedom" for Amnesty International, where she worked alongside Warren Haynes, Keb' Mo', Taj Mahal, Eric Burdon and Carly Simon. She also founded 'Matters' – a non-profit organisation. Schorr is a long distance cyclist, marathon runner and animal rights activist. She currently lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and rescued pit bull triplets.

Schorr performed at The Half Moon, Putney, London, on April 13, 2022. She undertook further UK gigs in 2022, at Lytham St. Annes, Troon, and in Holmfirth plus, in April 2023, in Wolverhampton. In November 2022 she won the 'Live Act of the Year 2022' from Great Music Stories radio in the UK, which Schorr said: "It is a great honor to be recognized for your work! This is a particularly heartwarming award because most significantly, it comes from you, the fans who come out to see us! Thanks to Great Music Stories for including us among so much exceptional talent".

She is the featured vocalist on Robin Trower's album, Joyful Sky, which was released on Provogue Records in October 2023.
