You hear your mom or people in the entertainment business always say things like “half the fun is getting there” or something that sounds so lame to somebody my age. Let me just say- making this cd has been a blast! It was a lot of hard work, but I’m doing what I love to do with people I look up to as role models. It’s been an awesome experience that I know I’m going to be proud of for a really long time.
“Someone Like Me” started out as my 15th birthday present. That’s all. We’ve wandered over to Nashville every year since I was 10 years old to demo 5 or 6 songs. Most of the songs on this project are ones I’ve done little acoustic demos to 2 or 3 times before. ( I’ll never forget my first demo – 10 years old, three songs to tracks. I had been going to the local karaoke spot for months in advance with my #2 pencil taking “pre-orders”. When it was done, Mom bought me a stack of blank cds and I burned them at home. Don’t laugh! I sold almost 500 at 5 bucks a piece from my little preorder list. I thought I was a rock star!) But, each and every song on “Someone Like Me” held a special spot in my heart. I had been living with these songs for so long, just dreaming of how they could sound. I really wanted to go in and do them the right way- fully produced with top players.
It means so much to me that other people seem to get what I’m doing. I love sharing these songs with all of you and honestly, 7000 of my cds already sold – unreal!! It blows me away when I hear that I’ve been requested on the radio or when someone actually wants my autograph. Your response to “Someone Like Me” has been incredible, your belief in me keeps me going. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support!
Country Music Artist Stormy Montana Has Already Broken Sales Records, Now She’s Set To Take Her Music Online
Sep 21, 2009 – NASHVILLE, TN — Country music artist Stormy Montana will release her highly acclaimed and top selling C.D., “Someone Like Me” online and worldwide November 15th, 2009 through i-Tunes, Amazon, LaLa, Rhapsody, Napster, and other online vendors.
“Someone Like Me” has already sold close to 7,000 physical copies since release, a virtually un-heardof feat in todays country music climate. In fact, had the C.D. been Soundscanned from the beginning, “Someone Like Me”would have remained in the Top 20 Billboard Country Music Chart throughout much of the year.
Featuring 15 top quality songs by hit songwriters such as Dave Pahanish, Casey Kessel, Marcus Hummon, and James Slater; and recorded at Nashville’s finest studios featuring Nashville’s finest musicians, “Someone Like Me” is knee deep in great music that everyone can enjoy.
The release date is a reflection of the Christmas season and the decision to release “Someone Like Me” online for the first time came after much deliberation. Stormy says, “At first we wanted to keep the C.D. offline completely, believing that the best way to sell ‘Someone Like Me‘ was for me to play shows, shake hands, and meet as many people as possible. As time moved on we found that the demand for ‘Someone Like Me‘ at the shows was overwhelming, leading us to sell out very quickly. At the same time, everyday we were getting request for the C.D. from places as far away as Japan and Germany. We concluded we needed to have ‘Someone Like Me‘ in all the online stores so that the fans who weren’t able to purchase the C.D. at the shows, and those around the world, could.”
About Stormy Montana: At just 16 years old, Stormy Montana has proven to have one of the largest and most dedicated fan bases in all of country music. She doesn’t attribute this simply to her age, but to the music itself, which is grounded in the best traditions of country music, with an eye towards the more accessible pop country of today’s generation. Stormy began singing live in bars and honky-tonks at 9 years old and hasn’t stopped since. Her love of music and performing is evident by the fact her mother never had to push her to sing and perform, it’s simply what she wanted to do. Teaming with renound vocal coach Teresa Smith, and surrounding herself with a great team of Nashville insiders and music professionals, Stormy set sail on her life’s calling. The culmination of these early years of hard work can be heard on her new C.D. “Someone Like Me” which has already sold nearly 7,000 physical copies.
