Song (Original) Released! Kisses of Light©

 

When I’m not securing the largest enterprises in the world, I’m a vocalist and author. Musicians…what are ya gonna do with us? Most everything I do is gut-punch, screaming heavy metal or growly-purry hard rock. Sometimes, though, it’s fun to do something different.

Wrote this song with my long-time friend and bandmate, Rob Erwin of Exiled, Frankenshred, and the top-secret metal band we’ve been working on for Killer Metal Records. Lyrics and all vocals are me; guitars are Rob.

We wanted it to be close, unprocessed, and raw; so, there are no effects, doubling, autotuning, or punch-ins…vocals were done in a single take. Did a 10-part vocal harmony to make it sound like a sweet choir in the background. Hope you enjoy this song: Kisses of Light (Heavenly Mix) © 2019. Thanks for listening, liking, following, subscribing, buying, and sharing!

About the Restored Posts

This Kisses of Light song restored post was originally posted on December 1, 2019, but was temporarily lost when my website went down. It’s been restored from backup to ensure it remains accessible as part of my archive. These original posts are shorter because they were created before search engine optimization (SEO) length guidelines were common. Back then, I focused on quick updates or simple descriptions about my music and activities rather than the detailed content reflected in my current articles.

“This site started with my music and grew into a place for everything that matters to me – past, present, and future. It’s a personal space that melds meaning, memory, and music into life, work, and truth. One site. A thousand signals.” – Hunter Storm

About Hunter Storm | Rock & Metal Singer

Hunter Storm is a powerhouse Rock and Metal vocalist whose career bridges the underground fire of raw authenticity with the polish of global recognition. A classically trained soprano coluratura who studied under Mimi O’Neill (international opera soprano) and David Van Landing (Michael Schenker Group, Tony MacAlpine), Hunter brings a rare combination of vocal precision and on-stage ferocity.

Charting Worldwide

Her music has charted across major platforms worldwide. She was spotlighted as a Recommended Artist to Follow on YouTube—ranked between Beyoncé and Eminem—and climbed the SAAVN charts, India’s equivalent of iTunes, as a featured top artist. Her cover of Steelheart/Steel Dragon’s “We All Die” exploded organically, crossing 379,000 downloads and streams, while her original work has been praised for its intensity, emotion, and technical mastery.

Hunter has dominated ReverbNation’s charts, ranking #1 in Metal locally, #6 nationally in the U.S., and #9 worldwide, before industry throttling slowed visibility. Still, her presence has only grown stronger. In 2022, she released The Storm II with Stereo Rex, further solidifying her reputation as an artist with staying power.

Top Tier Social Media Impact and Global Influence

Hunter’s career milestones include achieving unprecedented digital engagement with over 3.5 million daily visits from her social platforms to Reverb Nation, and amassing a passionate following of 55,000+ Facebook fans in just one month, placing her in a league alongside top-tier independent artists globally. Later, platform throttling limited her global reach. Her artistic influence extends beyond music, inspiring countless emerging artists worldwide. To put this in perspective:

On YouTube, Hunter Storm charted as a Recommended Artist between Beyoncé and Eminem, a notable position highlighting both global reach and organic influence.

Her daily traffic exceeded the typical engagement of most regional and national acts, rivaling some mainstream global artists at the time.

On ReverbNation, she ranked #1 local, #6 in the United States, and #9 worldwide in Metal, outperforming countless established acts within the genre.

Sharing the Stage with Legends

On stage, she’s shared the spotlight as direct support for legendary global acts including Tesla, LA Guns, Gilby Clarke, Sacred Reich, Raven, Lynch Mob, Pretty Boy Floyd, Bullet Boys, Vixen, A Flock of Seagulls, Sister Seven, and more. With her commanding presence, Hunter doesn’t just perform—she takes over, leaving audiences with a sense that they’ve witnessed something both intimate and electrifying.

Global Cultural Impact | Beyoncé is Taken by Storm

Her impact has been felt beyond the music alone: in 2023, Beyoncé appeared in press photos styled uncannily like Hunter Storm’s signature look from her 2022 The Storm II video look—from hair color and cut to wardrobe—proof of the cultural ripples Hunter Storm creates even from outside the mainstream spotlight.

Whether on a global stage or through the headphones of her fans, Hunter Storm embodies what it means to be a force of nature in music: unapologetic, technically gifted, and unforgettable.

Her influence is not limited to music. A Mensa Member and Albert Nelson Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Hunter’s experience navigating social media algorithms, platform throttling, and online engagement strategies provides her with unique insight into digital reach and artist promotion. These qualities combine to make her a trusted voice in both music and digital culture.

Hunter Storm’s artistry merges technical mastery, global reach, and passionate performance, establishing her as a trusted, influential, and award-winning figure in the Rock and Metal music world.
