Janice Mofus[1] (born February 11, 2000),[2] better known by the stage name Baby Storme is an American singer, songwriter and internet personality, known for her presence on the video-sharing platform TikTok.

Early life

Janice Mofus was born on February 11, 2000 and grew up in the suburbs of Yonkers, New York. She attended a Catholic school starting age 3,[3] teaching herself piano and singing in a choir.[4] She names Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Lady Gaga, as her favorite musicians as a child.[4]

Career

Storme began seriously pursuing a musical career in 2019. Her profile rose in 2020 thanks to attention on the social media platform TikTok.[3] In January 2021, Storme's single, "Jackson" went viral.[5] In February 2021 Earmilk wrote of her new song "everybody knows", "Storme is able to define true-to-genre R&B while still exploring unconventional and uncomfortable topics."[6] In March 2023, Billboard wrote of her song, "Painkillers", "the track's sparse instrumentals — gossamer-like synth, thumping beats and delicate piano — complements her soft vocal delivery."[7] In April 2023, Storme released "Alt Disco", which Swidlife praised for its risk-taking and unexpected melding of genres.[8]

Writing in October 2023, Paper's Ian Guzman described Baby Storme's Forever Halloween EP as using "build[ing] a sonic and visual world that could equally resonate with angsty young people 30 years ago as it could today ... over glimmery '80s synths".[4]

In 2025, American singer-songwriter Chappell Roan identified Baby Storme as an artist she thinks "deserve[s] more love and a bigger platform".[9]
