Bryan White (born February 17, 1974 in Lawton, Oklahoma) is an American country music artist. Signed to Asylum Records in 1994 at age 20, White released his self-titled debut album that year. Both it and its follow-up, 1996's Between Now and Forever, were certified platinum by the RIAA, and 1997's The Right Place was certified gold. His fourth album, 1999's How Lucky I Am, failed to produce any major singles, and he was dropped from the label's roster. White has charted seventeen singles on the Billboard country charts, of which four reached Number One: "Someone Else's Star" in 1995; "Rebecca Lynn" and "So Much for Pretending," both in 1996; and "Sittin' on Go" in 1997. He was also a duet partner on the album version of Shania Twain's 1998 single "From This Moment On", which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Overall, he has recorded four studio albums, a Greatest Hits package, and three EPs.
[edit] Biography
White was born in Lawton, Oklahoma. White is married to former soap opera actress Erika Page of One Life to Live and is the father of Justin, born in October 2003 and Jackson, born in July 2005. [edit] Career[edit] Bryan WhiteBefore signing to Asylum Records in 1994, White worked as a t-shirt vendor for the band Pearl River, a band which was signed to Liberty Records in the early 1990s. After the band broke up, several of its members joined his backing band.[2] White released his debut single "Eugene You Genius" in late 1994.[1] Although it failed to reach Top 40, his debut album was released. The next single, "Look at Me Now", peaked at #24, followed by the consecutive Number One hits "Someone Else's Star" (which Davis Daniel had previously recorded) and "Rebecca Lynn". The success of these latter two singles helped Bryan White achieve platinum status from the RIAA. The album included two songs which would later be singles for other artists in 1997: "Nothin' Less Than Love" (recorded by The Buffalo Club) and "Going, Going, Gone" (recorded by Neal McCoy). Also in 1995, Sawyer Brown charted in the Top Five with "I Don't Believe in Goodbye", a song which White co-wrote with Scotty Emerick and Sawyer Brown lead singer Mark Miller. In 1996, White earned the Country Music Association's Horizon Award and the Academy of Country Music's Top Male Vocalist award.[1] [edit] Between Now and ForeverWhite's second album, Between Now and Forever, was released in early 1996.[1] Its lead-off, "I'm Not Supposed to Love You Anymore", reached #4 on the country charts, followed by the #1 "So Much for Pretending" (his longest-lasting Number One, at two weeks), the #15 "That's Another Song", and his fourth and final Number One hit, 1997's "Sittin' on Go". Like his debut album, Between Now and Forever was certified platinum. That same year, Diamond Rio charted in the Top 5 with "Imagine That", which White co-wrote with former Pearl River member Derek George and Neil Thrasher, who was then recording on Asylum as one half of the duo Thrasher Shiver. [edit] The Right PlaceThe Right Place followed in 1997. Its title track, "Love Is the Right Place", was a Top 5 hit, although later singles proved less successful. "One Small Miracle" peaked at #15, and "Bad Day to Let You Go" peaked in the thirties in 1998. Nonetheless, The Right Place was certified gold. Also in 1998, White made a guest appearance on Shania Twain's Top Ten country and pop hit "From This Moment On", though there are several edits of the song, both country and pop, in which his vocals are mostly replaced with Twain's with only White singing background vocals. The final single from The Right Place, "Tree of Hearts", failed to make Top 40. White followed up the album with a Christmas EP entitled Dreaming of Christmas.[1] He also co-wrote and sang background vocals on Lila McCann's late 1998 single "You're Gone". Also in 1998, he was one of several artists to participate in a charity single entitled "One Heart at a Time". [edit] How Lucky I Am and Greatest HitsA fourth album for Asylum, How Lucky I Am, followed in 1999. Neither of its singles ("You're Still Beautiful to Me" and "God Gave Me You") reached higher than #38, and Asylum closed its Nashville division soon afterward. The label's parent company, Warner Music Group, issued a Greatest Hits album in 2000 on the Warner Bros. Records label.[1] This album included the #56 single "How Long", White's final chart entry. The same year, he sang several of the songs featured in the animated movie Quest for Camelot. [edit] 2000sBeing so young and then thrust into stardom so fast ended up taking its toll on White. As White has stated, "My identity was formed by the music industry...", and his career and success began defining who he was to himself.[3] With his fourth album being less than successful, he started doubting himself and his talent which landed him in a deep depression, forcing him to take some time off until 2005, when he began work on another album. A second Christmas EP, My Christmas Project, followed in 2006. In 2007, Bryan White sang the song "God of Wonders" on Time Life's Songs 4 Worship Country CD and joined a cast of other popular artists for the collaborative project "Major Rising" to benefit The Melodical Hearts Foundation, the Oklahoma Children's Research Hospital, and many other artist-supported charitable organizations. The song was released on April 5, 2008. A new album, Dustbowl Dreams, was released on September 28, 2009. White released a new single from that album, "The Little Things", in July 2009.
