In 2001, Quiet Storm was not only the top independent Hawaiian label, but outpaced the major labels in the Hawaiian genre.{{cite news |date=May 12, 2001 |title=Hawaiian Music's World Ranking|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FikEAAAAMBAJ&q=%22Quiet+Storm%22&pg=PA31 |newspaper=Billboard |page=42|access-date=May 7, 2014 }} In 2003, Quiet Storm's sales surpassed the $1 million level,{{cite news|last=Sedensky|first=Matt|title=Hawaiian Tunes in Sync With Music Market|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-apr-27-adna-hmusic27-story.html|access-date=8 May 2014|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=April 27, 2003}} although its position within the Hawaiian music market had declined to 4th.{{cite magazine | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yQ0EAAAAMBAJ&q=Quiet+Storm&pg=PA66 | title=The Islands on the Charts | magazine=Billboard | date=May 31, 2003 | access-date=8 May 2014 | pages=66}} The company has seen strong sales in Japan. 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. A declining market for CDs, and accounts-receivable defaults are among the challenges faced by Quiet Storm.

The label has become known for its compilation CDs, which intermingle artists which are only locally known with recordings, leased from major labels, of well-known artists.{{cite news|title=Homegrown Product|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yQ0EAAAAMBAJ&q=Quiet+Storm&pg=PA66|access-date=8 May 2014|newspaper=Billboard|date=May 31, 2003|pages=70}} They have also found success with their own signed artists, including EA.
