Stormi Travels

The Spicy “Cinnamon Babe” is a Class Act!

Stormi Travels: Taking the World by Stormi!

Talented Stormi Maya has had a whirlwind year since she was named March 2022’s Penthouse Pet. The petite powerhouse has continued to follow her dreams and further her multitrack career as an actress, model and vocalist fronting the nu-metal band Cinnamon Babe. We’re catching up with the dynamic performer and learning about all she’s done since joining the Penthouse family.

Stormi, 27, confides 2022 was a “great” year for her and shares, “I felt like I reached so many goalposts and accomplished so much!”

The native New Yorker says shortly before her issue hit the stands, she shot the show Heaux Phase, a streaming TV series about a teenage girl who becomes pregnant and has to figure out life.

“It was my first time leading my own TV show, and we filmed 11 one-hour episodes in two months out in Atlanta,” says Stormi. “It was hard work, 12 to 14 hour days, every day, and a ton of lines to remember.”

But the beauty didn’t rest on her laurels and says, “Right after filming that show, I went to NYC to film for HBO Max, working on season two of That Damn Michael Che! It was a great experience going back home to NYC for a week. I was able to see my family and friends!”

Finally Storm Travels with Pentouse

In March, Stormi notched another career highlight — being named a Penthouse Pet!
The cover girl gushes, “I was so excited. I could finally tell the world I was a Penthouse Pet. I was so happy!

“I shot my pictorial around November 2021, but I wasn’t allowed to say anything until the issue hit the newsstand! My followers were so happy to see me on the cover of Penthouse. I decided to do a free magazine giveaway for my followers to promote my rock band Cinnamon Babe’s debut single ‘Pure O.’ The metal community was shook when I dropped my first song in March. No one expected me to be a metal artist. Our music went viral that summer with our song ‘Rock ’N’ Roll Is Black!’ It broke the genre.”

But that’s not all, Stormi was also on MTV!

“I was on a reality show called Secret Relationship on MTV! The best part is they even licensed my music to use! I had my own one-hour episode on MTV! How epic is that?!” she says.

July brought another prominent role for Stormi in Irv Gotti’s debut movie, We Made It in America, which is based on his BET series Tales.

“I play the role of Shay, the third lead. The filming was in Atlanta and was about a month straight,” she says.

“It’s hard living in a hotel for long stretches, but it’s always worth it. I have to live off of microwave food, and living in a single room can get boring, but I’m there to focus on work. The movie will be in theaters soon.”

Stormi reveals, “My band, Cinnamon Babe, continued to gain popularity throughout the year due to everyone’s support — including Penthouse. I appreciate them using my music in my Penthouse videos, sharing our posts and even giving me a rock-’n’-roll themed shoot for the magazine.”

By the time winter rolled around, Cinnamon Babe was playing live shows in Los Angeles and doing charity events — including a performance for the nonprofit Project 43 LA.

“We raised money to help the children of the community get Christmas gifts, and we raised awareness for the center,” she says.

“I am very proud of my 2022, and I feel so blessed and appreciative,” says stunning Stormi. “I know 2023 will have more in store — and I am excited to see what’s next!”

Obviously people around here love Stomi Travels, but we like it almost as much when she’s just on the phone filling us in on her amazingly diverse life.
