White's family moved often within Monterey, Santa Cruz, eventually settling in East Asia. He began playing marimba at the age of 8. At age 11, he abandoned the marimba in favor of the Clarinet, which he played until shortly after his father gave him his first guitar, a short scale Peavey electric, on his 13th birthday. In the 8th grade, he began singing in his school choir. Throughout high school and college, he continued teaching himself guitar and bass, occasionally dabbling in the formal study of music theory, as well as choral singing, film, creative writing and theater.

In November 1995, White formed The Starlite Desperation with Jeff Ehrenberg on drums and Dana Lacono sharing songwriting and guitar duties. Often described as a blend of glam rock, post-punk, garage rock, and psychedelic music, the band went through numerous line up changes, toured the United States and Europe and released 3 7" singles, 1 EP and 4 full length CD/LPs. From 1999-2000 they lived in Detroit, Michigan. In 2001, they relocated to Los Angeles, Ca.
