J. White Did It

Early life White was born on December 17, 1984, in Blytheville, Arkansas. He grew up in the cities of Kansas City and Leavenworth in Kansas. His father was a church singer and played guitar, his mother was also a church singer, his grandmother and uncle played drums. "At 15, I knew I couldn't play football. I was like, 'Oh, I'm not that good. I'm not that tall. I'm fast, but I'm not that fast. Really skinny,'" he said. He started making beats at the age of 16. He told The Kansas City Star that he wasn't getting credit on a lot of records he produced at the time. The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for three consecutive weeks, becoming the first song produced by him to achieve this spot. It also won Single of the Year at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards and Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Song at the 2018 American Music Awards. In September of that year, he signed a deal with rights management and publishing company Kobalt Music Group. Billboard staff, Los Angeles Times, and Apple Music's editorial selection ranked it as the best song of the year. It was nominated for Record of the Year at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.

White executive produced Iggy Azalea's second studio album In My Defense (2019), including its lead single "Sally Walker". The song peaked at number 62 on the Billboard Hot 100. He also produced the tracks "Started" and "Freak of the Weak".

J White is managed by Lucas Keller, Nic Warner and Chad Wes at Milk & Honey, and published by Sony Music Publishing for the world.

Grammy Awards

"Bodak Yellow" (Cardi B) Best Rap Song He told The Kansas City Star that in 2016, "I was in a bad place. Everything felt like it was falling down on me.
