About Me

Stormy Strong may just now be starting to approach gale-force, but the music he has been creating and performing has been brewing for years. Performing solo acoustic or with backing band, Stormy’s music casts melodic hooks to the hungry masses. Inspired by a life of growing up in and around coastal towns along California’s West Coast. With his unique voice, style and unforgettable anthems, Stormy is quickly charting his own magical course in the new music industry
Formerly the frontman for a successful California pop-punk act, Stormy has found shelter and home in his own vision. With years of traveling between coastal fishing towns, being trapped in near deadly storms at sea and spending a lot of time on various seaside docks, these maritime adventures have all had a profound influence on his music.  Stormy’s lyrics are emotionally charged, epic dramas with a strong list in the storytelling direction. Stormy is now even more passionately energetic about his music and still the positive creative performer he always was.
Now continuing into 2008 Stormy’s music has been featured on MTV and is heavily requested on internet radio, sees increasing demand from both digital distributors and peer to peer file sharing networks. Stormy’s song "Save You" won the Great American Songwriting Contest in Alt/Rock genre in 2006 and he has already captured the attention of notable music industry veterans with his unique brand of rock. Also in 2006 his song "Sail Away" made the cut onto KGO-Radio’s "The Best Music You’ve Never Heard". Stormy was also recognized at the 2006 Taxi Convention by legendary record producer Michael Lloyd for his song "Save You".
He is currently working on his full length record to be recorded this summer and regularly playing shows.
