Early life

Scott Storch was born in Long Island, New York, and raised in Sunrise, Florida. His mother, Joyce Yolanda Storch, was a singer signed to Philadelphia's Cameo-Parkway Records under the stage name Joyce Carol, and is of Lithuanian Jewish heritage. His uncle, Jeremy Storch, was a founder of soul-rock band The Vagrants and wrote songs recorded by Dave Mason and Eddie Money Storch's parents divorced in 1983. Storch attended elementary school in Sunrise and middle school inDavie, Florida.

 In the middle of his freshman year, he left South Florida to join his father, Phil, in the Philadelphia area, and attended high school in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. He made his first big step in his professional music career in 1991 when he became one of the first members of the hip hop group The Roots as a keyboard player. Storch's first big commercial hit was when he collaborated with Dr. Dre and helped produce the riffs for the song Still D.R.E.. Storch's most successful commercial hit was Lean Back, a 2004 single by Fat Joe.

Financial

In 2006, Rolling Stone estimated that Storch had earned over $70 million in his career. According to a 2007 Forbes article, "Hip Hop Cash Kings," Storch was one of the highest-paid people in the music industry in 2007, having earned $17 million in that year. His fee per track was around $85,000, exclusive of publishing royalties. In July 2008, it was reported that Storch was unable to pay over $500,000 in late property taxes, and a warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear at his child-support hearing. According to his attorney, there had been "mismanagement" of Storch's finances.
