Release Notes:
William White was born on the Caribbean island of
Barbados and grew up on a small farm in the hills
overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Mom loved Beethoven
Dad loved quiet ...William loved to sing. It was
the time when a ride through the country roads
would be filled with music; Bob Marley and the
Wailers booming at the rum shop on the corner,
Marvin Gaye out of the window of the house a little
further on, Sam Cooke, then Curtis Mayfield and
everybody was kung-fu fighting with Jimmy Cliff.
It was then, that at the age of twelve, with a
borrowed book and his mother's old classical guitar
William started writing and singing his own songs.
Country music with it's gripping texts became an
issue Calypso with the beat the kids at school were
listening to hard rock and William was singing
tenor lead in The Five of Hearts, an accapella
combo doing "Under the Boardwalk" gaining stage
experience as well as writing a few songs of his
own.
At nineteen, after College, he left Barbados for
Switzerland, his mother's home land culture shock!
The Army University . But soon William was singing
in and writing songs for up to four bands at once,
playing everything from reggae to funk, rock to
punk and folk William had heard his calling and
quit his studies.
It was only a little later though, that as front
man of the rock band Liz Libido, he sang in the
first of two albums, "Liz Libido" and then
"Freakreation" and gained local recognition for
himself as a singer as well as song writer. In the
following five years of playing up to eighty
concerts a year, on stages such as Montreux Jazz
Festival and St. Gallen Open Air, Liz Libido
established itself as a super tight, rockin┤ live
band the break through however, remained elusive.
Now, with the break up of Liz Libido, William White
is ready to launch his solo carrier. A firm
believer in the power of music, he has set out to
touch hearts, awake emotions and spread positive
vibrations through his songs. His music is a blend
of the Caribbean rhythms with pop, rock, funk and
all that jazz but all packed into a very natural,
very human-feel recording, creating a uniquely
intimate and emotional style with a real roots
message.
