QUIET STORM

Anthony Gonzales Jr. was born in Hayward, California. I am the oldest with three younger siblings. My parents moved us out of the Bay Area to the Central Valley, in hopes of getting us away from the street life. I had a few different cliques I ran with doing different things. Some had me out in the streets and I had one that got me into music. I began to write my first rap verse in high school, but was quickly discouraged. In 2005 I met a few friends that allowed me to join their rap and r n b group. We disbanded a year later due to creative differences and direction. I stopped doing music again. In 2007 I met someone who introduced me to gospel rap music and invited me to church.

I gave my life to God a month later. We started a group called God's Men At Work in late 2008 to 2012. I felt The Lord pulling me towards a different direction. I still wanted to reach out to do outreaches, events and venues, but with a new vision. I started a new group with my daughter and myself as Ltvn Proof in 2014. In 2016 I was a Sunday school teacher for the youth and was ordained as a deacon. My daughter wanted to focus on school so I changed my name for the last time. With the same vision to reach out to as many people, to steal back the lost treasures left in the dark and continue to do My Father's will through Gospel Rap. I go by Quiet Storm.
