Simone White

Artist Description

I was born in Hawaii. I didn't wear no shoes. We moved to California. My grandma was a showgirl, a singer and a dancer on the stage. My auntie wrote pop songs in the 50's. My mother was a folk singer and an artist. My dad a sculptor. I grew up moving town constantly. I played in the dirt, was always the new kid. I left home and wandered around acting and photographing and writing. In Seattle I picked up the guitar, painted pictures and rolled down the stairs. I lived in London and made little movies and photographed bands. I moved to New York and learned to fingerpick and sing in my true voice. Followed my heart out west. Here I am.

I Am The Man is Simone White's debut album for Honest Jon’s. Recorded in Nashville with Mark Nevers (Lambchop/Calexico/Will Oldham/Silver Jews), it’s thirteen heart-stopping tracks of soulful folk loveliness. A favourite with critics from MOJO to the Daily Mail, I Am The Man has taken White from the Lincoln Center in New York to WOMAD UK and the Green Man Festival in Wales, seen her top the radio play charts in the Netherlands and soundtrack a world-wide, award-winning campaign for Audi.
