DeStorm Power Facts

His name is pronounced as day-storm.

He has a large tattoo spanning from his shoulder and collarbone to his chest, and a long line of text on his forearm.

DeStorm was a talented songwriter and got hired by Universal Records, Atlantic Records, and other recording labels as an intern to be a ghostwriter, e.g. to write songs without getting official credits.

In 2011, he moved from New York to Los Angeles, California, to pursue his musical and media endeavors.

His mother died of stomach cancer in 2008.

His catchphrase was “Wuz Up World? (What’s up World?)”, and he always said it either at the beginning or the end of his videos posted on social media.

DeStorm’s YouTube channel was at the 85th spot out of “Top 100 Channels” listing published by New Media Rockstars online magazine in 2014.

DeStorm Power used to be represented by Paradigm Talent Agency in Los Angeles, California, and William Morris Endeavor Entertainment in Beverly Hills, California, but later decided to go independent.

He starred and co-hosted the MTV television series Punk’d with King Bach, which aired on BET Networks in 2015.

He often joked that if he or his loved ones needed an emergency hospital visit, they’d be better off calling an Uber rather than 911, as the car driver would show up faster.

He claimed that a lot of his best ideas came to him when he was in the bathroom and that he should simply add a work desk near his toilet seat.

DeStorm knows how to beatbox and occasionally incorporated his skills for his comedic skits.
