William White Music

William White was born on the 15th of June 1972 on a small farm in the hills overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, on the Island of Barbados. Mom loved Beethoven ... Dad loved quiet ...

William loved to sing. It was the time when a ride through the country roads would be filled with music;Bob Marley and the Wailers booming at the rum shop on the corner, Marvin Gaye out of the window of the house a little further on, Sam Cooke, then Curtis Mayfield. The old folks were listening to Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, and a Church Congregation could get louder than anybody’s HiFi. Music was everywhere and although he didn’t quite understand what it meant yet, William was hooked … Now the name William White is well known on the biggest stages in Switzerland. His own mix of reggae, funk, soul and folk has won him many fans and a solid radio status nationwide.

The eight piece band „William White and The Emergency“ have played stages in Switzerland as well as Germany, Austria, France, Holland and Italy.

His songs carry a message of love for music, and a yearning for peace.
