Biography

Story was born in California in 1973. Displaying a gift for music & art, as well as literature, he was taken to a public school at age 10 to study independently. In is early teens he began to study symphonic orchestration with celebrated composer Doctor Langley. At age 15 he composed a full scale symphony. As a musician he is respected by some of the biggest names in the industry, performing professionally on over a dozen musical instruments.

Story's band, Anyone, has seen favorable reviews since its first album, notably being named best new band by "Kerrang!" magazine. A new album and film, both titled 'Sip The Pleasure Of Days', are expected to be released soon.

In 2004, Story directed the adult movie named In Aphrodite Which also features original music that he wrote and performed. His debut feature film named Goloka debuted on July 31st, 2003 at the Dances with Films film festival in Santa Monica, CA. Also featuring Story's music, Goloka has played at various other film festivals. Story began his directorial career with the psychedelic montage of Togetherment. Part documentary, part art film, part acid trip, Togetherment explores issues pertinent to today's society through interviews with many Orange County luminaries.

His image and most of Anyone's music suggests he is heavily into Indian culture (he often looks like Indian god Lord Shiva) but it is unknown at this time if he has any Indian heritage.Or|date=September 2007

Pre-Anyone

Before Anyone, Sylvia was formed by Riz Story and Taylor Hawkins (of Foo Fighters fame). They were also joined by Sean Murphy on guitars. Story wrote 90% of the material for this highly progressive art rock outfit that seemed destined for supreme greatness. The band ended and Hawkins joined bubblegum crooner Alanis Morissette. Story stuck to his guns and created Anyone which went on to achieve cult status around the world with its highly intoxicating Maxium Acid Style. Many of the songs played by Sylvia became Anyone songs.
