Born into a working-class Italian American family, Avery was raised in a small town in New Jersey minutes away from New York City. Influenced by his fatherβs musical talent and aware of his gift at an early age, he began creating songs that emulated his love for music. He sought refuge from the familiar issues of adolescence and early adult hood in his craft. Upon completing high school, Avery left his NJ home and relocated to New York City in search of his dreams. Respected by his peers and a staple in New Yorkβs underground talent sector, he became a favored guest in many of the downtown open mic venues including Groove, Village Underground, and CafΓ© Waah. Averyβs efforts as a writer were also acknowledged with an ASCAP nomination for the Writerβs Workshop Award. What we have today is a strong and talented musician, who gives you his raw element, nothing fake or manufactured.
In the summer of 2001, Avery joined a local production company and through their collaborative efforts, scored a record deal with Timbalandβs Beat Club/Interscope Records. Jimmy Iovene, chairman and CEO of Interscope Records, best known for developing multi-platinum stars such as Eminem, No Doubt and Tupac, referred to him as the new age James Dean. Unfortunately, due to creative differences, an album was never released and both artist and production/record companies parted ways. Forced to start from the ground up and determined to let nothing stand in his way, Avery hit the underground circuit with unfaltering force. With the money generated from working in a neighborhood deli, he created promotional cds of his music, then took to the streets of NYC and handed them to everyone who crossed his path. Averyβs relentless dedication paid off when a promo disc landed in the hands of a talent scout for Derrty Entertainment, Nellyβs record label with Universal Music. After numerous meetings and a 13-city tour, he went on to become the first R&B artist signed to Derrty/Universal Records.
To date, Avery has been featured on several recordings including, βI Better Goβ from Murphy Leeβs debut album Murphyβs Law, βIn My Lifeβ from Nellyβs Suit Album, in which he co-wrote and co-produced, "Time" with the St. Lunatics from the Coach Carter Motion Picture Soundtrack, "Excuse Me (Be Here All Night)" with Kinfolk, Big Gipp (Goodie Mob) and Ali (St. Lunatics) from the their upcoming album Kinfolk, "Tired" with Nelly from SweatSuit, and "Nasty Girl" with the Notorious B.I.G., Nelly, P.Diddy & Jagged Edge, produced by Jazze Pha from the Biggie Duets LP. Heβs also worked with several award-winning producers including Babyface, Bryan Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri.
The world was given a glimpse of Avery Storm in several music videos including, Nellyβs βFlap Your Wingsβ and βTilt Ya Head Back β featuring Christina Aguilera, Murphy Lee's "Hold Up", "Errtime" by Nelly from the Longest Yard Motion Picture Soundtrack, "Nanananana" by Nelly, "Grillz" by Nelly, Paul Wall, Big Gipp & Ali, βGo Headβ by Kinfolk, βHere I Amβ by Rick Ross and 2 new untitled songs from Nellyβs upcoming 5 LP Brass Knuckles. In last yearβs Mix Source New Artist DVD, Avery was featured alongside some of the industryβs hottest rising star including, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Keysha Cole and Juelz Santana.
Avery Storm is reinventing a raw talent that many of his predecessors embodied. Mixing many different genres of music with his incredible ability to play various instruments, he creates a sound that is all his own. The realness of his music is so evident itβs almost tangible. Itβs as if heβs holding your hand and walking you through his life.
Ask Avery about his music and he replies, βSometimes I feel like I'm straight out of left field and wonder, is anybody gonna get this? My harmonies are big, dramatic and exaggerated at times which makes people wonder who the hell is singin background, but it's all me. My music is like me turning myself inside out and lettin' everybody see in, so I want people to really feel what I'm sayin'. I want them to be able to say, damnβ¦ I feel you.β cuz I talk about real shit, things we all go through on one scale or another. I put my life on a plate for the world to taste. Somethin' on the menu for everyone, I think. You tell me.β
All of Averyβs songs are self-written and every idea is authentic. The emotions come from a familiar time and place in his life and he eagerly invites you into his world through his art, everything else remains a mystery.

Here I Am
Avery Storm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause she can be my lady she can be my lover
Call me on the late night get right he ain't acting right
Every super woman needs a super man, here I am
Sight seeing we might be in the Codra port
or that new white BM
Home from FAMU with a gorgeous face,
Cooking like home-etch for financial aid.
I highly doubt she has problems with financial aid, remember
meantime my finance is straight
I even open up the doors to the panantial states Boss
She used to fight with her moms till I sat em both down
Now she's tight with her moms (what?)
Yeah I put the ice on her arm,
Now she know she getting sliced spending nights in Milan (yeah)
We still blow weed together cheated on her but we still gone be together
With the house on the water hit the beach whenever
She's from the north and still can't believe there whether Boss
I got a bunch of dollars I can spend them on her
'Cause she can be my lady she can be my lover
Call me on the late night get right he ain't acting right
Every super woman needs a super man, here I am
Hear I am and here I go why you looking for that other when you got the best?
The previous was a test for ya, now you in the big leagues
A black Steinbrenner who wouldn't wanna play for me?
Ya last man was a chump and you can tell him I said it
He was talking a lot at first, but you can see that dead it
You can see I ain't sweat it,
Hell I'll even call him my self and tell him I dead it nah
Please don't confuse me miss
I'm tryna see if I could put you on my Christmas list
I hope you ain't offended by this
But I think your ass fine as shit and that's straight up real talk, all bullshit aside
she replied "I Like To Do The Wild Thing"
Action took place at my place, now my place is her place
I got a bunch of dollars I can spend them on her
'Cause she can be my lady she can be my lover
Call me on the late night get right he ain't acting right
Every super woman needs a super man, here I am
Mo better mo cheddar not the man
Off your clothes last sweater (what)
Hoe getter gorilla fuck chuffers, I went and got mo killas boss
I rock with niggas like Fabolous cause
He tell the truth baby like Fabolous
But you make it look glamorous
Here's spaghetti strapped heals not for amateurs
Risk quite rocky, talk like foxy, job like Roxy,
Spark that broccoli walk quite aky
That mean sexy I will save you if you let me
Fly with me, get high as me
A lot of alphabets girl I'm a G
Time will tell, Rolex watches
We show stoppas, hoes just watchin'
I got a bunch of dollars I can spend them on her
'Cause she can be my lady she can be my lover
Call me on the late night get right he ain't acting right
Every super woman needs a super man, here I am
