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.
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, Lady Gaga, and Madonna 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 after receiving praise from Lil Nas X on TikTok.[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]
Public image
On May 3, 2024, Storme claimed that she was a former friend of fellow rapper Ice Spice, and had leaked numerous text messages between the two; which included messages of Ice Spice speaking negatively of former collaborator Nicki Minaj, as well as her own mother.[10] Ice Spice subsequently confirmed the messages in a Rolling Stone interview two months later, but believed the people she mentioned "did not care."[11]
