Ashaine White

One of alternative music’s most exciting rising voices, Ashaine White blends grunge textures, soulful lyricism and raw emotional storytelling into a sound entirely her own. The North London singer-songwriter draws from an eclectic mix of influences, from Nina Simone to alternative icons Radiohead and Jeff Buckley, creating music that feels deeply personal and strikingly contemporary.  For Ashaine, being alternative means resisting the boxes that the mainstream tries to put artists in. Her emotionally charged songwriting and electrifying live performances have earned support from BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, 6 Music and BBC Introducing, with performances at venues including the Roundhouse and Lafayette, and international stages such as SXSW in Austin. Ashaine has also shared stages with Nova Twins, supported Corinne Bailey Rae and received an Ivors Academy Rising Star nomination, further cementing her status as one of the UK’s most exciting breakthrough artists.
