Jack White

Born and raised in Detroit as the youngest of 10 siblings, Jack White’s utilitarian approach filters through all his work, from self-producing his own music to the Third Man empire he founded, to his upholstery and various other art and design pursuits. Over a quarter century into his professional musical career, White’s ability to weave relevant, compelling, and poignant artistry to his music leaves him unparalleled. When the White Stripes started in 1997, no one, least of all White, ever expected that a red, white and black two -piece band would take hold in the mainstream world. The release of Elephant in 2003 not only cemented the band’s reputation but also offered the #1 hit single “Seven Nation Army,” which has since been appropriated as arguably the most popular chant in sports stadiums around the world. On November 8, 2025, The White Stripes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

To date, White has won 12 GRAMMYs in eight different categories with 36 career nominations and was honored with the Producers & Engineers Wing “President’s Merit Award” in 2017. White formed a "new band of old friends," The Raconteurs, whose debut album Broken Boy Soldiers featured the #1 hit single "Steady, As She Goes.” In 2009, he started The Dead Weather with members of The Kills, Queens of the Stone Age and The Greenhornes. White’s solo repertoire consists of the pivotal albums Blunderbuss, Lazaretto, Boarding House Reach, Fear of the Dawn, Entering Heaven Alive, and most recently No Name. In April of 2026, White released new singles “G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico” which he celebrated with his sixth musical guest performance on SNL.
