"FIRE STORM: One of the hottest bands, from Philadelphia, in the land. Feel the FIRE! FEEL THE STORM"

Watch out World because in 2021, Fyrestorm are ready to take the world by storm! Literally. Led by their faith in God, Powered by John 'The Bossman' Hall and Driven by their individual and collective passion and desire to produce great music, to perform and with strong wholesome messages in their music.

I discovered Fyrestorm the end of last year through another incredible performer, dancer, actor and a power generator of a man John 'The Bossman' Hall. He is known amongst his peers as 'the hardest working man in the industry' and this goes without doubt. John comes from an Entertainment Family Background, his cousin is Russell Thompkins Jnr, Lead Vocalist of 'Russell Thompkins Jnr and The New Stylistics.' John is a man who is hungry for success, hungry to perform to audiences worldwide, hungry and passionate about music and a man who is disciplined enough to do whatever it takes to make this all happen. He wants the world to know who he is and what he represents and that is - to be good at your craft, to own it and to deliver it. He is driven and will support those who he sees with his keen eye, who have talent and who need a helping hand to get to where they want to get to as well. John is the man who is helping to drive Fyrestorm, to where they should be. Dennis Sproul stated 'Until we get our grammy, we won't stop.' They want the world to hear their music.
