Your attention please. Whitey is a sort-of solo project by N.J Whitey. He collects books, strange memories and grudges. He is a hard character to pin down- his genre-twisting songs swing wildly between styles, and his dismissive attitude towards the music industry means there are few shows, and even fewer interviews. He has to date had no real record deal, but has still released over 30 records under a variety of names. Yet without any significant industry investment his distinctive sounds have broken through to mainstream daytime radio in the U.S and elsewhere, and for four straight years his music has been a fixture from rock clubs to fashion runways, from movie soundtracks to television, computer games to skate films. From Japan to Iceland, Moscow to Hollywood. From the Sopranos to Grand Theft Auto. Gradually this cult U.K artist has built a strange home in the shadowy ground between high fashion and mainstream entertainment, between pop radio and what little is left of the underground. An outsider who relishes this status, and celebrates this outsider ethos in his work.
What else? He's lived in a variety of places, but you could say he is from Coventry. He now lives in a rundown seaside town in England. He is about to move to Berlin. He sings, programs, plays guitar, keys, bass and drums but has no formal qualifications and is totally self taught. His live shows are haphazard- some are an uplifting rhythmic experience, whilst some occur in deliberately darkened rooms and are hedonistic affairs drenched with chaotic walls of feedback and electronic noise. Others may swing from ferocious rock moments to gentle simple melodies played on tiny bells, acoustic guitars and toy instruments. He is a published writer and illustrator.
What more can we find out? Not much. Theres only been one interview in the last year, and this was a strange rambling piece where the hapless journalist was led off on a meandering journey through the dead of an East End night, on a quest to discover more-or-less nothing. Since then? Silence. He has to date recorded and released one album THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL IS A TRAIN (1234 Records). This made many critical 'Best Of Year' lists. You should listen to this, if you can find it. If you are in America then you can buy it from DimMak, or from Itunes on the link below.
Whitey has just completed another album "Stay On The Outside" . This will be released on various labels (TBA) later this summer. This may be his final album as Whitey. ................................................................................................................................. ....................................................................
