Frankie Storm

from The Big Break

Frankie Storm is the songwriter behind hits like “Don’t Stop the Music” by Rihanna, and “Lightweight” by Demi Lovato. Frankie started singing in her church choir and learning different instruments in her teens. Her career took off when a rapper asked her to record a hook for his album – her first time ever being recorded. That was her golden ticket into producers and publishers offices in Philadelphia and New York. As she pumped out hit after hit, she found a unique balance between success and stardom. Today, she continues to write music, and helps developing artists achieve their dreams of success.
