It was crazy, just figure ’em out.Īnd I believe there was a specific incident where you got hit in the face with a cleat?Īnd your mom was like, “Let me put him in some piano classes and try that.” Then you really took to that.
I would set up my little tape recorder on the piano bench and play all these songs that I was learning in my head. I wasn’t into it, and I would go home and I would just play piano. Well you know what? I was in soccer for like two seconds in third grade, and I was sent home all the time for leaving my shin guards home. Originally back in the day, I believe there’s a connection to soccer as being one of the reasons why you ended up playing piano. It was inspiring.Īnd at that point you weren’t just jumping on the piano and stuff? I mean, our family gatherings and stuff, my mom and my uncle and everybody would be singing and take turns. I’m wondering if you ever got to see that music lifestyle close up when you were younger in that way. So there’s a lot of music around you already from an early age, right? And your uncle was in the band The Vagrants. I mean she was a housewife, but early in her days, like 17, she was into music and had a little record deal for a while. What did your parents do? Your dad was a court reporter and your mother, she was actually an artist, right? As an infant I moved from Long Island to Florida and grew up there.Ĭool. You also have roots in South Florida as well – Plantation. Originally you’re born in Long Island, is that correct?
I want to just talk about your life, really, at first. So I just want to bring it all the way back to the beginning. Wow, well we’re honored to have this happen here. Thank you all for coming, I appreciate it.

Dre, for whom he came up with the classic piano riff that propels the 1999 hit “Still D.R.E.” From there, Storch went on to feature in and produce hit records for the likes of Beyoncé, Fat Joe and Justin Timberlake, becoming one of the most sought after producers of the mid-’00s in the process. Storch’s playing eventually lead him to Dr. After being drafted into hip-hop band the Roots in 1994 upon moving to Philadelphia, the group’s first album Organix leaned heavily on Storch’s distinctive use of the Fender Rhodes and would help define their sound.
