Stormy

Moroccan recording artist Stormy is one of the most promising young voices in the North Africa today. Thanks to his uncanny ability to bring stories to life through music, he is now on the brink of becoming one of the biggest names in the global hip-hop scene.

Born Yasser-El-Malih in Rabat, Morocco, Stormy heard his first hip-hop record when he was still a child. He immediately knew he was destined to become a rapper. Although proper recording gear was difficult to come by, he was able to acquire enough rudimentary equipment to record his first tracks in 2014. While these tracks were raw, they displayed the creative talent and fearless spirit that would later make Stormy one of his country’s biggest stars.

Situated at the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Arab world, Morocco is a natural breeding ground for creativity. Moroccan artists have long borrowed freely from other cultures, reinventing existing art forms in their own image. Stormy’s approach to hip hop is no different, giving it a distinctly Moroccan twist as he effortlessly switches between French, English, Darija, classical Arabic, and Spanish to speak one universal truth. As a result, his music is just as capable of touching hearts in France or the USA as it is in North Africa.

In recent years, Stormy’s popularity has skyrocketed, solidifying his status as one of the most influential artists of his generation. Featured as the cover artist for numerous official Spotify playlists and amassing impressive streaming numbers across all major platforms, Stormy has proven to be a rare talent one who effortlessly bridges cultures while delivering chart-topping hits.

Following a string of remarkable achievements, Stormy released his critically acclaimed album Iceberg in 2024, featuring standout tracks such as “POPO,” “Maradona,” and “Moon.” The project became a global sensation, surpassing 100 million streams on Spotify alone.

In early 2025, Stormy surprised fans worldwide with the unexpected release of Omega, a bold and captivating project that received overwhelming acclaim from listeners and critics alike.
Currently, Stormy is taking his music to stages around the world with an electrifying global tour, further cementing his reputation as a boundary-breaking artist with a universal sound.
