Quiet Storm Records is a Hawaii-based record label specializing in Hawaiian music.
History
The label was formed by John and Debra Iervolino in 1992.[1] John Iervolino serves as president.[2] The company has won a Na Hoku Hanohano Award.[2] In 2001, Quiet Storm was not only the top independent Hawaiian label, but outpaced the major labels in the Hawaiian genre.[3] In 2003, Quiet Storm's sales surpassed the $1 million level,[4] although its position within the Hawaiian music market had declined to 4th.[5] The company has seen strong sales in Japan.[1] Aside from music recording and production, the company has also set up a distribution division that includes music, books, and DVDs produced by other entities.[1] A declining market for CDs, and accounts-receivable defaults are among the challenges faced by Quiet Storm.[1]
