Hailing from Chicago, Kwiet Storm comprises of four handsome and
talented singer/songwriter/producers who have literally dedicated their
lives to the pursuit of their dream. Cousins Duke Terrell, 18, and Lewis
"Drey Skonie" Jackson, 19, hooked up with best friends Russell "Romance"
Foster, 20, and Roshawn "Slow Mo" Lyles, 20, two years ago and set out on a
journey that would ultimately bring them to Atlanta and Jonnetta Patton of
JPat Management, the training ground and team that guided the astronomical
success of multi- platinum R&B superstar Usher. Already receiving strong
radio support for their single "Get To Know You" from major R&B radio
stations such at WGCI in Chicago, WVEE-103 in Atlanta, WFXE in Columbus and
WJTT in Chattanooga, among others, Kwiet Storm is off to a great start.
Dante, the 20-year-old Philadelphia native was playing the lead role in
the musical stage play "The Life of Marvin Gaye" when, during intermission,
he was introduced to Jonnetta Patton. Impressed by his soulful music and
acting abilities, she soon signed him to her record label.
JLack, Grammy nominated producer and Usher's younger brother is a force
to be reckoned with. He has already achieved success producing R&B artist
Lloyd's #2 hit single "Get It Shorty" and produced music for Lloyd's
upcoming album. JLack also produced the music featured in the national
launch of Usher's men's and women's fragrance, Usher's performance on
Movies Rock and Usher's new album, Here I Stand. Recently JLack won an
ASCAP Award and signed a multi- million dollar publishing deal with EMI
Music Publishing.
