Brock was born and raised in the small agricultural town of Lake City, FL. At the tender age of four, he developed an extreme interest in music. Brock made his first live appearance at five years old at his aunt’s wedding. From that day forward, he knew that he was destined to do something really special with his life. Although it is hard to get exposure living in a small town, Brock began entertaining the locals at nearby festivals and events. It didn’t take long before Brock Storm was a house-hold name of his home town. At such a young age, he realized he needed to travel to bigger places to reach his dreams of becoming a famous recording star.
At the age of ten, Brock began traveling the nation performing nearly every weekend at every gig he could snag. He eventually went to Nashville, TN to record his first original demo with some of the industry’s finest producers and musicians. Brock’s songs “Crazy For The Girl” and “She leaves it, like he left it” ranked with the top ten requested songs at local radio stations for several weeks, which is quite an accomplishment for an eleven year old. The pre-teen singer was really beginning to catch the eye of a lot of people, Brock appeared on “It’s Showtime at the Apollo”, “Jenny Jones: Kids That Rock!”, and the “Children’s Miracle Network Telethon” all before his thirteenth birthday.
In 2003, Brock was discovered in Orlando,Fl singing at events and showcases around the area. At the time, he was trying to discover who he truly was as an artist stylistically. Brock had been brought up on folk artists such as Garth Brooks, Patsy Cline, and John C. Mellencamp but, he found that he liked going beyond his roots, without forgetting them, to take him places that he had never been. He discovered ways to combine pop music with his southern roots to create his own original sound. Later that year, Brock recorded two songs that were written and produced by Ashley Angel, who was a part of MTV Making the Band’s super group, O-town. Although the songs were never released, it was a great experience for the upcoming artist. In 2004, Brock was chosen out of thousands to perform on PAX TV’S “America’s Most Talented Kids”. His rendition of the Backstreet Boy’s “Quit Playin’ Games With My Heart” added many fans, specifically young girls, to the rising artist’s fan base. With over ten years of hard work, this teen has over 400 shows under his belt.
Now at the age of eighteen, Brock Storm is one of the freshest new pop acts on the rise. In the past year, Brock has teamed up with such producers as Andrew Fromm(Backstreet Boys, Jesse McCartney) and Sidh Solanki(Busted) to bring a brand new sound to the pop music scene and he has filmed his first music video for “Keep Thinkin About U”. Brock has recently been featured in several magazines in America and the United Kingdom. With Brock’s signature sound and punk rock edge, he is already catching the attention of many people around the world. |
