With a rising reputation for breathtaking vocals and soul-deep songwriting, American Idol finalist Thunderstorm Artis has once again struck a chord with fans—this time in a powerful and personal way. The Hawaii-born artist recently shared a moving duet with his wife, Faith Artis, and the performance has gone viral, igniting a wave of admiration and calls for Faith to audition for the next season of Idol.
“A family that sings together stays together,” Thunderstorm captioned the Instagram post. “I think we need a @faithfoyartis version of this song.”
Fans Are Hooked — And Want More From Faith
The chemistry between Thunderstorm and Faith was undeniable, both musically and emotionally. Their harmonies blended effortlessly, creating a soulful performance that left fans emotional and inspired.
Social media was flooded with praise:
“That harmony gave me chills.”
“Y’all need to drop a full duet album.”
“Faith needs to be on American Idol next season. Period.”
A Musical Journey Rooted in Love
Thunderstorm and Faith’s love story sounds like it came straight from a movie. The two met in December 2019 when Faith and her family visited Hawaii from Australia. After seeing Thunderstorm perform live, the connection was instant—and just a few weeks later, Thunderstorm surprised her with a trip to Australia, where he proposed.
They married on April 10, 2020, just as Thunderstorm was launching his virtual music performances on The Voice. Although their dream wedding celebration was postponed due to the pandemic, their partnership has only deepened over the years.
Today, they’re parents to two young sons: Eziekel, born in June 2022, and Zion, born in September 2024.
Thunderstorm’s Rise: From Oʻahu to National Spotlight
Born and raised on the North Shore of Oʻahu, Thunderstorm Artis was immersed in music from a young age. The youngest in a family of performers, he’s known for weaving island storytelling with soul, folk, and gospel influences. His voice and style are as unique as his name—and deeply rooted in Hawaiian spirit.
“No matter where I go or what stage I’m on, I always carry a piece of Hawaiʻi with me,” he once said. “It’s in the way I sing, the stories I tell, and the spirit I try to share.”
He wowed American Idol judges with his deeply personal original, “Don’t Let Me Let You Go,” inspired by his relationship with Faith and his growth as a man, father, and artist. It became a defining moment in his journey and reminded America why his voice matters.
