Born the youngest of ten children, raised in Southwest Detroit and a resident of Nashville since 2005, Jack White is one of the most prolific and renowned artists of the past fifteen years.

When the White Stripes started in 1997 no one, least of all Jack, ever expected that a red-and-white two-piece band would take hold in the mainstream world. With the release of 2001’s White Blood Cells the band was thrust on magazine covers and captivating audiences through worldwide touring. “Fell in Love With a Girl” served as the band’s breakthrough hit and its accompanying Michel Gondry Lego clip was chosen by Pitchfork Media as the #1 music video of the 2000’s.

The release of Elephant in 2003 not only cemented the band’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with, but it also offered the hit “Seven Nation Army” which has since become appropriated as a de facto stadium chant for many sports teams the world over.

In 2004 White teamed up with Loretta Lynn to produce and perform on her Van Lear Rose album, an effort that won Grammy’s for Best Country Album and Best Country collaboration with vocals for the single “Portland, Oregon.” To date White has won nine Grammys in seven different categories.

White formed a “new band of old friends” the Raconteurs in 2006 and their debut album Broken Boy Soldiers showed a markedly different side, most notably one where songwriting, vocal and guitar duties were shared. The success of their debut-single “Steady, As She Goes” proved that White’s previous accomplishments were no fluke.

To take it even further, in 2009 White took to his original instrument, the drums, and started the Dead Weather with members of the Kills, Queens of the Stone Age and the Greenhornes. Releasing two albums in two years and unleashing a dark, captivating live show upon curious audiences, the Dead Weather futher-cemented Jack White’s musical versatility and range.

Also in 2009, White opened the doors to his very own record label, Third Man Records, where he has produced over 120 records in less than three years. Spanning artists as varied as Jerry Lee Lewis, the Smoke Fairies, Wanda Jackson, Black Milk and Stephen Colbert, the label has quickly developed a reputation as a leader in the vinyl record industry.

In January 2012 White announced the upcoming release of his debut album Blunderbuss which will be accompanied by extensive touring across the world.

Founded in New York City, Earthquake Lights are a rock band with a focus on vintage tone and genuine instrumentalism. Their upcoming full length debut maintains a more traditional rock and roll sound in the style of Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Beck, and The Who. But the band also draws heavy influences from their classical and jazz backgrounds. Sounds of Miles Davis, Joao Gilberto, and Hank Jones are blended with textures and harmonies from Maurice Ravel and Igor Stravinsky. The LP was written and recorded in New York, Los Angeles, and Abbey Road Studios in London.

MAGNETAR is the prismatic debut album from Perdurabo, the brainchild of classically trained multi-instrumentalist, electronic artist, and composer Davide Arneodo - an enigmatic force in music, with an exceptional blend of electronic, rock, and classical influences.

As a member of the seminal alt-rock band Marlene Kuntz, Davide contributed to the tremendous impact the band had on the Italian music scene. Amidst challenging times, he established his own label, releasing the EP "Komponent" produced at Funkhaus in Berlin and the collaborative record "The Time Traveller". Compositions like "The Answer" and "10 Pianos" were featured on Nils Frahm's Piano Day playlist, displaying Davide's artistic versatility.

After releasing three compelling singles last year, including "Hopes" feat. Daudi Matsiko and Tom Adams, "Dark Fire" feat. Echlo, and "Cast Stones" feat. Miro Shot, and receiving positive feedback from both critics and the audience, he set the stage for the full album's release. 

Produced alongside the exceptional talents of Gareth Jones and Matt Colton in London and featuring Jörg Wähner (Apparat), Gabriele Giletta, and Jochen Arbeit (Einstürzende Neubauten), this marks the beginning of a new chapter. New York artist Andy Gilmore has added a captivating visual dimension to the record, curating four distinct covers that reflect his visionary perspective.

As a genre-defying artist, Davide is leaving an indelible mark on electronic music.
