Where are you from? I’m a military brat so all over but i was mainly raised in Ohio but have been in LA for 9 years now.
What was life like growing up? I was raised mainly by a single mother but she later found a great step dad whose parents died when he was a child. So learned to be tough but work hard in everything I do.
How did you get into the music scene? I came out to LA and looked for venues that would allow me to perform. I kept working on my craft and then venues started hitting me up to perform.
What was the first song, event or experience that really boosted your career? My song Outerspace when I was starting out really had an impact on younger kids and it truly showed me I can really change peoples lives with music.
How did you get your stage name? I combined my name twice. Everyone tells me its like two different storms. The artist and the man, but i feel many great artists are that same way. Whether it’s singing, acting or even comedy.
Who is your biggest inspiration? Big Sean. he works so hard and i believe he is an amazing artist with a great story and voice with his music.
Most expensive jewelry piece? Watch! I love a good watch, my girl got me one for christmas.
What has been the most difficult part of being an artist? Not knowing what the future has in store. I have made so many great professional projects and I know I have the talent to be listed and perform with the artists like Drake, Big Sean, Joyner Lucas, and Jack Harlow. I just need my spotlight.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Performing for large audiences and on my second Major album with one best new artist grammy and possibly album of the year as well.
If you could collab or open up for one major artist, who would it be and why? Jack Harlow or Drake. We would really compliment each other’s sounds and I know it would be a dope show foreal.
What advice would you give to someone looking to become an artist? Don’t wait for anyone else! if you see yourself creating a great music video or track. Focus on getting those tools to record and do it! Don’t believe you can’t, believe in yourself!
