Биография

Whitey is an ongoing musical project by British vocalist, songwriter and musician NJ White. The man and his music are hard to pigeonhole, with a genre-twisting time travelling music career that has swung wildly between styles, drawing from eras throughout 20th Century music and onwards, recombined into unique forms. As an individual he prefers to speak via his work, and has refused all interviews for over a decade- leading one journalist to describe him as 'the musical equivalent of Bigfoot'. For over a decade Whitey's music has made its mark, from Rock'n'Roll clubs to electronic dance floors, fashion catwalks to movie soundtracks, television to computer games, from Breaking Bad and the Sopranos to Grand Theft Auto. Whitey has built a strange home in the shadows between mainstream entertainment and the vanishing underground, an outsider who celebrates his outsider ethos in his work- and yet whose music is embraced by popular culture. What else? In his own words, he 'finished growing up' in Coventry, where he was mentored as a musician by the legendary Lynval Golding of The Specials. Whitey is also a prominent spokesperson for independent music- his recent letter about 'fair fees for artists' was shared 500,000 times; and made Newsweek, The Times, BBC Worldwide and the front editorial of Music Week.
