Ashaine White strives to be ‘alternative’ in the purest sense of the word. Putting it simply, “I want my music to represent me being myself” she says. To her, that mindset isn’t defined by a specific hairstyle, or the makeup she wears or even restricting the sonics of the music she creates to fit neatly within any one subculture. Instead, her dream is to connect people to themselves through her music, and do so by existing as freely and authentically as she possibly can.

Inspired by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Lianne La Havas, D'Angelo, Radiohead and Nirvana, Ashaine’s moody, spellbinding approach to jazz harmony and melodies, wrapped with a brash garage-band sensibility and storytelling at the focus of her songwriting form a unique and exciting soundscape. Putting you right in the middle of her world.

From the effortless silken riffs to the vulnerable lyricism to the dark, swirling undercurrent of the musicality, Ashaine White’s music is a freeform amalgamation of all her broadest loves and identities. But ultimately, she just wants to be the kind of artist she would have loved as a young Black girl growing up in Enfield -someone being 100% herself, no matter what the world tells her she needs to be. “I think it's truly important to have an alternative mindset to the mainstream mindset. And in my opinion, that is the boxes they try to put us in,” she says. Whether that’s pigeonholing at the hands of the music industry, oppressive beauty standards or any other kind of societal demands, White is determined to remain unsubscribed. “I just want to exist as myself sobrazenly that when people come to my show or listen to my music, they can do nothingelse but just exist as themselves. No pretence, no hat or cloak or all of these things that we put on to [try and] make sure people like us.
