Totowa, New Jersey

New Jersey-based singer/songwriter Jimmy White spent his formative years composing lyrics and music in his head before publishing his first song while studying at Seton Hall University. A self-taught pianist who cites the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" as the musical spark that lit a fire in his heart, White's winning blend of adult contemporary pop, country, and gospel has earned him numerous independent awards. His albums include One Track Heart, Sure Feels Like Love, Hidden Pictures, and Two Cities, the latter of which spanned two discs and featured 25 tracks, including the single "Forever and a Day," which was produced by Gary Mallaber (Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen). ~ James Christopher Monger
