During the 1990s, White was a part-time musician in various underground bands in Detroit, while working by day as an upholsterer. He and his ex-wife, drummer Meg White, formed The White Stripes. The band went on to have a string of critically-acclaimed albums, with their third, White Blood Cells, catapulting them to international stardom. He was ranked #17 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." White's popular and critical success with the Stripes enabled him to collaborate as a solo artist with other renowned musicians, such as Loretta Lynn and Bob Dylan.

Early life

White, the youngest of ten children (seven sons, three daughters), was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Teresa and Gorman Gillis.^a[›] His father and mother worked for the Archdiocese of Detroit,^[1] as the maintenance man and the Cardinal's secretary, respectively. Jack, like his six brothers, eventually became an altar boy, which landed him an uncredited role in the 1987 movie The Rosary Murders, filmed mainly at Holy Redeemer parish in southwest Detroit.^[2] As a child he was a fan of classical music.^[3] Motto: Speramus Meliora; Resurget Cineribus (We Hope For Better Things; It Shall Rise From the Ashes - this motto was adopted after the disastrous 1805 fire that devastated the city) Nickname: The Motor City and Motown Location in Wayne County, Michigan Founded Incorporated July 24, 1701 1815  County Wayne County Mayor...

White began playing instruments (a drum) at the age of five.^[4] Although White grew up near Mexicantown, a lower-middle-class Hispanic neighborhood in southwest Detroit, his musical preferences were not those of his classmates, who listened to electronica and hip hop. White, as a teenager, was already listening to the blues and 1960s rock that would influence him in the White Stripes,^[2] Son House and Blind Willie McTell being among his favorite blues musicians.^[5] Mexicantown is a neighborhood in Southwest Detroit, located one block north of the Ambassador Bridge. ...

In 2005 on 60 Minutes, White told Mike Wallace that his life could have turned out differently. "I'd got accepted to a seminary in Wisconsin, and I was gonna become a priest, but at the last second I thought, 'I’ll just go to public school,'" White said. "I had just gotten a new amplifier in my bedroom, and I didn’t think I was allowed to take it with me."^[6] It would turn out to be a life-defining decision.

At fifteen, White began a three-year upholstery apprenticeship with a family friend, Brian Muldoon. After working in various shops, White started a one-man business of his own, called Third Man Upholstery. The slogan of his business was "Your Furniture's Not Dead" and the color scheme was yellow and black — including a yellow van, a yellow and black uniform and a yellow clipboard. While Third Man Upholstery never lacked business, White claims that it was not profitable, due to his complacency about money and his business practices that were perceived as unprofessional, including making bills out in crayon and writing poetry inside the furniture.^[7] Upholstery is the work of providing furniture, especially seats, with padding, springs, webbing, and fabric or leather covers. ...

Career

Early career

White's first professional music experience came in the early 1990s as a drummer for the Detroit country-punk band Goober and the Peas. This led to work with various other bands such as The Go on their album Whatcha Doin' and 2-Star Tabernacle. Also, in addition to being his mentor and neighbor, Muldoon played drums with White in late night jam sessions; informally, they called themselves "Two Part Resin",^[8] although their post-breakup debut single on Sympathy for the Record Industry from 2000 is credited to The Upholsterers.

The White Stripes

Main article: The White Stripes

Jack and Meg White were married on September 21, 1996. In unorthodox fashion, Jack took Meg's surname.^[9] Post-marriage, Jack continued to dabble in multiple bands, but it was in 1997 that Meg first tried her hand at the drums. In Jack's words, "When she started to play drums with me, just on a lark, it felt liberating and refreshing. There was something in it that opened me up."^[2] The young couple then became a band, and in July of that year, the newly-christened White Stripes made their first live appearance at the Gold Dollar in Detroit. Despite their status as a married couple, the two presented themselves publicly as siblings. In keeping live performances to three elements, Jack fulfilled his lead in The White Stripes, which was guitar and vocal duties while Meg played drums.^[2] Starting out as an underground favorite in Detroit and other circles, the White Stripes recorded two albums for an independent label.

The White Stripes came to international attention when, in 2001, British DJ John Peel raved of the band on his radio show.^[10] The buzz turned the White Stripes into a sensation in Britain, and the enthusiasm soon crossed over back to the United States. The 2001 single, "Fell in Love with a Girl", became an alternative hit, and the band's third album and major label debut, White Blood Cells, was seen as leading the trend for garage rock in the early 2000s, earning comparisons to The Strokes. In 2002, NME's first ever Cool List named Jack White "the coolest person in rock".^[11] For other persons named John Peel, see John Peel (disambiguation). ...

By 2003, the White Stripes had become one of the nation's most popular rock groups, with their fourth album, Elephant, winning Grammy Awards (including for the single "Seven Nation Army") and appearing on end of year lists. In a 2003 special issue, Rolling Stone named White the 17th best guitarist of all time.^[12] The White Stripes' 2005 album Get Behind Me Satan saw White playing less guitar, concentrating on piano, marimba and other instruments, but achieved the band's highest debut on the Billboard 200 chart, at #3. White received praise from Lou Reed^[13] as well as gaining the admiration of other musicians such as Slash,^[14][15] Jimmy Page, and fellow Detroit musician Iggy Pop.

The critical and popular success of the White Stripes opened up new opportunities for White. In 2003, he was well-received in the role of Georgia in the feature film Cold Mountain, directed by Anthony Minghella.^[18] He also performed several songs for the film's soundtrack (produced by T Bone Burnett), in a traditional Appalachian mountain music style.^[19] Later in that same year, he and Meg appeared in one of the shorts comprising Jim Jarmusch's film, Coffee and Cigarettes. Meanwhile, White produced Loretta Lynn's 2004 album, Van Lear Rose, singing with her on the duet "Portland, Oregon." The album was released in April 2004 to critical acclaim, and earned five Grammy Award nominations, going on to win both Best Country Album and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for the duet. White has referred to The Stooges' 1970 album Fun House as "the greatest rock 'n' roll record ever made."^[20] As a result, he was invited by Rhino Records to contribute liner notes to the 2005 deluxe reissue of the album. He also wrote the liner notes to Holly Golightly's album Truly She Is None Other. In 2007, he had a small role playing Elvis Presley in the comedy Walk Hard.^[21] Cold Mountain is the original soundtrack of the 2003 Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winning film Cold Mountain starring Jude Law, Nicole Kidman and Renée Zellweger (who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Ruby Thewes in this film). ...

Interestingly, throughout White's career he has worked out an arrangement with his distributors (both V2 Records and Warner Bros. Records) that allows White to maintain ownership of the master recordings,^[26] a rarity in the modern music industry.^[27] Additionally, the label has allowed him to produce for other bands with his personal label, Third Man Records — most notably for fellow Detroit act The Muldoons (featuring his former upholstering partner Brian Muldoon) and Whirlwind Heat. V2 president Andy Gershon said, "Jack has interests that extend outside the White Stripes, and I think it is important to support him in these areas."^[28] In 2005, White recorded and produced the first 45 record for his former teacher Brian Muldoon's family project, The Muldoons. Muldoon's two sons, Hunter and Shane, front the trio. White has also worked with artists Pete Townshend, and Billy Gibbons.^[29].

In the summer of 2005, White and his friend Brendan Benson got together and wrote "Steady, As She Goes". The song would turn out to be the first single of their new band—The Raconteurs, with Patrick Keeler and Jack Lawrence. The band came together in Detroit during 2005 and recorded when time allowed for the remainder of the year. Due to the various members' success in other bands, they were quickly dubbed a supergroup but they asserted they were actually "a new band made up of old friends."^[32] In 2006, White toured following the release of The Raconteurs' (or the Saboteurs, as they are legally known in Australia) debut album Broken Boy Soldiers.

In January 2008, they entered the studio to begin production on their follow-up album. The result was Consolers of the Lonely, released March 25th.^[33] Despite efforts of the band to thwart "leaks" (including, but not limited to announcing their release date one week prior to release,) iTunes mistakenly began selling the album in advance of its slated release date.

The band has played a number of music festivals in Europe, Asia, and North America (including Reading and Leeds Festival in the UK, Vegoose in Las Vegas, Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL and Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, Texas), and Bonaroo.

Musical equipment and sound

Jack White uses numerous effects to create his powerful live sound, most notably a Digitech Whammy IV to create the rapid modulations in pitch he uses in his solos.^[34] The guitars he uses live are two 1965 JB Hutto Montgomery Airlines (one which he received from a fan),^[35] a Harmony Rocket, a 1970s-era Crestwood Astral II, 1950s-era Kay Hollowbody, a Gretsch White Penguin (as seen in the music video for "Icky Thump"), and a custom Gretsch Rancher Acoustic Guitar Western Maple Satin (which he also uses when playing with The Raconteurs). When playing with the Raconteurs, White usually plays two custom Gretsch-styled copies of the Duo Jet guitar, and a Gretsch Anniversary Jr. w/ Bigsby with three Filtertron pickups, dubbed by Jack the Triple Jet. In concert with an MXR Micro-Amp and custom Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Distortion/Sustainer, White can produce a very distinctive sound. In 2005, for the single "Blue Orchid", White employed the use of a new Electro-Harmonix creation, the Polyphonic Octave Generator (POG). Similar to (but more versatile than) the Whammy IV, the POG lets the user mix in several octave effects into one along with the dry signal. He also has three Zvex Tremolo Probes, that are hand painted black. All of the pedals that he uses live have been professionally painted red to match his red/black/white color scheme (with the exception of his Whammy and the other pedals that are already red).He plugs this setup into a 1970s Fender Twin Reverb and two 100-Watt Sears Silvertone 6x10 combo amplifiers.^[36] The Digitech Whammy is a pitch-shifter effects pedal manufactured by Digitech. ...

White also produces a "fake" bass tone by playing the Kay Hollowbody and JB Hutto Montgomery Airline guitars through a Whammy IV set to one octave down for a very thick, low, rumbling sound, which he uses most notably on the songs "Seven Nation Army" and "The Hardest Button to Button".^[34][37] Seven Nation Army is the first track on the album Elephant by American rock band The White Stripes. ... The Hardest Button to Button is a single by The White Stripes. ...

On occasion, White also plays other instruments, such as a Black Gibson F-4 mandolin ("Little Ghost"), piano (on most tracks from Get Behind Me Satan, and various others), electric piano on such tracks as "The Air Near My Fingers" and "I'm Finding it Harder to be a Gentleman" in which he used a Rhodes Mark II stage piano. White also plays percussion instruments such as the marimba (as on "The Nurse"), drums and tambourine. On Broken Boy Soldiers, he is credited as playing the album's synths and organ however bandmate Brendan Benson also received credit for these instruments and it is unclear who played on which song.

White plays power chords with a different technique than most musicians. Instead of using his ring finger to fret the higher notes, Jack uses his little finger. This is because of a car accident in which his left index finger was injured and also the fact that his brothers would never teach him the proper way to do so, which he explains in an appearance with the Raconteurs on the show In the Attic. In The Attic is a live weekly webcast from Pete Townshends Oceanic studios in London hosted by British singer-songwriters Rachel Fuller and Mikey Cuthbert. ...

White married model Karen Elson (who appeared in the music video for the White Stripes song "Blue Orchid") on June 1, 2005 in Manaus, Brazil.

White gives few interviews and reveals few details of his private life.

Eccentricities

White is often called eccentric, and is noted for his behavior, hobbies, and passions.^[50][51][52] For instance he has an obsession with the number three. His love for "three" started when he was an upholstery apprentice and noticed that three staples were holding the fabric to the side of the furniture. He began thinking of other trios that were minimal and powerful, most of all the Holy Trinity.^[53] On November 7, 2005, it was widely reported that Jack White had changed his name to "Three Quid" (quid is British slang for pound sterling). However, most reports indicated that this would only last until the end of the tour.^[54][55][56] When asked about this in a UK radio interview, he claimed that "it's all a money thing....it's all about money."

As one of the White Stripes, White has also created some sensation on and off the stage. The band (when on official duty) dresses only in red, white, and black, which Jack believes are "the most powerful color combination of all time, from a Coca-Cola can to a Nazi banner."^[57] A topic of intrigue has been the actual relationship between Jack and Meg. In early interviews, the pair presented themselves as siblings, two of ten. The Flaming Lips touch on this in their song "Thank You Jack White (for the Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me)" released on their 2003 EP Fight Test.^[58] However, the Detroit Free Press produced copies of both a marriage licence and divorce certificate, confirming Jack and Meg's history as a married couple.^[59] Neither addresses the truth officially; however, over time, they have become less vocal about the origins of their relationship. Jack White has said, though, that siblings are "mated for life", and thus such relationships distract less from the music.^[2] Also in July 2007, The White Stripes made history by playing the shortest ever concert by only playing one note (a F), in St. John's, Newfoundland. They played a full show later that night at the Mile One Centre in downtown St. John's.^[60] The Flaming Lips (formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1983) are an American alternative rock band. ...

It was rumored that in 2003 White was featured on Electric Six's song "Danger! High Voltage."^[61] Initially both he and the Electric Six denied this, and the vocal work was credited officially to the unknown John S O'Leary.^[62] However, a recent radio interview with Tim Shaw on Kerrang! 105.2 in the UK had Electric Six lead singer Dick Valentine talking openly about White singing on this song as well as speculating on the amount of money he was paid ($60,000). Also, in Q magazine in an article specific to The White Stripes it stated that Jack White did in fact work with Electric 6 and the vocals in the song 'Gay Bar'.

Notes

^ a: In "Ball and Biscuit", from the album Elephant, Jack makes reference to his birth order, singing "It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl...But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son."
^ b: This should not be taken as evidence that Jack White lives in the UK, since their qualification comes from the fact that Karen Elson was born there.^[1] The couple (as of 2007) resides in Tennessee.
