Shortly after birth, Storch moved to Cherry Hill, New Jersey where he grew up middle class, and dropped out of school in ninth grade to pursue a career in music. He eventually moved to Ft. Lauderdale and then Philadelphia. He became the keyboard player for the Philadelphia hip-hop band The Roots. He also played keyboards for other Philly artists including Schooly D and G. Love.

Storch began experimenting with his own productions by playing with The Roots. He then left the band and learned more about the art of making beats by working with Dr. Dre and Timbaland. Storch is now one of the most in demand hip-hop producers today, working on beats for a wide variety of artists. Unlike many of his contemporaries (Mannie Fresh, Kanye West and 9th Wonder), Storch rarely uses samples in his beats, preferring to compose all parts himself. He also has an interest in Middle Eastern and Indian music, which comes across in some of his songs, most notably "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent, as well as "Naughty Girl" and "Baby Boy", both by Beyonce (the latter featuring dancehall artist, Sean Paul).
