Bryan White
Bryan White will be coming to the Mitchell Opera House on Friday, June 3rd! Bryan is a famous country singer best known for top billboard songs in the 90s. Some of Bryan's most famous songs include Rebecca Lynn, Someone Else's Star, Look at Me Now, I'm Not Supposed to Love You Anymore, and So Much for Pretending, just to name a few! One of his most famous songs was his duet with Shania Twain, From This Moment On. Bryan is currently working on launching a new album.
Bryan was born in Lawton/Fort Sill, Oklahoma into a musical family. Growing up he listened to all kinds of music. His parents played in cover bands and thanks to his father, he learned to play drums while he was still very young. Drums came natural to him and he became so good at it that his parents frequently invited him to play with them. Since their bands played all different styles of music, White feels it gave him a great perspective and helped to make him the diverse artist that he is today. Although country music has my heart, I still love and respect all kinds of musical expression. Fresh out of high school, White says he packed up his guitar, drum sticks, angst, dreams, and five hundred dollars that his family gave him and headed to Nashville to pursue a career in country music.
The move proved to be beneficial. He charted seventeen singles on Billboards Country Charts, had six number one singles, two platinum records, two gold records, he joined forces with Shania Twain and together they took From This Moment On all the way up to number four on Billboards Hot 100 Chart. He has garnered several awards for himself, including a Grammy, a CMA Horizon Award, and an ACM Top Male Vocalist award among them. And, with his songwriting, he helped several other artists climb the charts; Sawyer Brown and Diamond Rio both made it to the top five slot with songs co-written by White. Hes also had songs recorded by Wynonna, Joe Diffie, LeAnn Rimes, Lila McCann, Jackie Lee, Love and Theft, just to name a few. The accolades led him to various TV appearances such as The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman, NBCs The Today Show, and CBS This Morning. However, despite all of his musical successes, it is an award from outside of the music arena that is probably the best indicator of who White really is; People Magazine named him one of their 50 most beautiful people in the world and everyone who knows him finds it easy to understand why.
White took some time off to get away from the craziness of the music business and to start a family. After a decade of building my career and being on the road so much, I was spent, mentally and physically, he says. I knew, I needed to get away and take some time to breathe and do some of the other things I had always dreamed of. He did just that by marrying the beautiful actress Erika Page (One Life to Live/Days of Our Lives) and bringing sons Justin and Jackson into the world.
When asked how his life has changed during his break from the industry, White responds, I found my true identity, not only as an artist and a songwriter, but as a human being. I realize now that life is an incredible gift and its meant to be lived on purpose and outwardly. Music is a gift and a great vehicle but its really about what happens beyond the music for me. What kind of legacy did I leave as a husband, as a father, and a friend?
Bryan latest release Shine is available now on iTunes and in the Bryan White online store. It is a record supported 100% by his fans. When asked what he hopes to accomplish with this new album, Bryan smiles and says, Ive already swung the bat hard and put the ball out of the park. I have nothing left to prove, but I have a lot more to say. White is sure to once again make a huge impact with his voice coupled with great songs full of heart and honesty. Never forgetting where he comes from or his past success, he looks ahead with confidence, determination, gratitude, and much anticipation to a future filled with more dreams.
