Music Artist Michael Thomas White

<p>From the artist: My artist name is Michael Thomas White. I’m 27 years old and graduated from Northwestern University, where I majored in economics. I live in NYC and started making music when I left my first corporate job at PricewaterhouseCoopers after 2 years working there to build a watch company in Bali with my co-founder (<a href="http://wallacewhiteco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">wallacewhiteco.com</a> and sells on Amazon.com).<br>My dad is an amazing guitar player and played in 80’s cover bands when I was growing up. I play the acoustic guitar fairly well. My focus as a kid was sports, particularly hockey and basketball. I played varsity basketball where I was raised in Columbus, Ohio. I also was a basketball practice player at Northwestern University for the women’s team and later for the WNBA when I first moved to NYC.<br>After Bali to start the watch company, I lived in Sweden for 6 months to record an EP with a talented producer who graduated from Berklee. We made songs like “Dancing in The Kitchen” and “One of a Kind”, which have been huge successes as first releases. Dancing In The Kitchen became a viral Tik Tok dance and One of a Kind surpassed 100k Spotify streams.<br>After recording the debut EP in Sweden, I moved to NYC two years ago to market my music. I’ve been able to quickly build a social media following. I often get recognized walking around Manhattan and I’ve performed well-attended, fun shows at iconic venues like the Bitter End. People have flown in from all over the country to be at my local shows. <br>My latest song &quot;Red Light&quot; was inspired by a breakup with a recent long-distance girlfriend in California. <a href="https://youtu.be/z69PCfrXLk8" target="_blank">I filmed a music video in NYC</a>. I’m super excited to take the next step in my artist journey and to be on Power 98.5 Satellite Radio!  </p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-cuoco/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show
