Actor Storm Reid hopes music reveals another side, introducing listeners to the real her

Storm Reid knows how the world sees her: an accomplished, polished actor who always seems to have it all together. Through new music, the Emmy-winner hopes listeners discover another side of her. Having released her new single “Shotty” on Friday, Reid wants people to meet the less pristine version of herself: a 23-year-old from Atlanta who falls in love, deals with boy problems and is still finding her way.“I think people might think I have it all together when I really don't,” said Reid, who is known for performances in " Euphoria, " “ A Wrinkle in Time ” and “ The Last of Us, ” which earned her an Emmy in 2024. She graduated from the University of Southern California last year.“I'm a normal girl trying to figure it out,” she continued. “Shotty” follows Reid’s debut single, “Clean Sweep,” continuing a music journey she has pursued over the past year. So far, she has recorded more than 25 songs. Reid said she hopes to focus work on her first EP after wrapping production on Teyana Taylo
