While such comparisons to contemporaries are frequent, White's music owes a clear debt to classic female jazz and blues singers such asBillie Holiday.White's haunted blues quickly found a home on Oakland's Double Negative Records with them only hearing her four-track demo. Fooling aroundwith music since pre-school, White started on piano around the same time she learned to read, eventually picking up the guitar during hercollege days.After graduation White moved to Bordeaux, France, where she performed with a bevy of independent French artists further honing hersongwriting skills. Upon returning stateside, she moved to SF and began recording four-track demos formulating the songs that would ultimatelybecome her debut album, Dark Undercoat.Her second album entitled Victorian America was released in 2009 in France (and in 2010 in the U.S.). it was written largely in San Franciscoand Oakland.Her third album entitled Ode to Sentience was released in 2011. « hide |
