John Paul White is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter whose evocative music spans from indie folk to alternative country. Born on August 4, 1972, in Loretto, Tennessee, he embarked on a solo career in the early 2000s, but he is perhaps best known for being one half of the critically acclaimed duo The Civil Wars, which he formed with singer Joy Williams in 2009. After The Civil Wars went on hiatus in 2012 and later disbanded, White continued to pursue his passion for music as a solo artist.

His discography as a solo artist includes the hauntingly introspective album "Beulah" (2016) and the more recent "The Hurting Kind" (2019), which showcased his Southern roots and storytelling prowess. White's unique blend of Southern Gothic lyricism and Americana harmonies allows him to create a soundscape that is both timeless and deeply personal. In addition to his solo work, he has collaborated with other artists, contributing his distinctive voice to the track "Safe & Sound (Taylor's Version)" with Taylor Swift. Throughout his career, White has remained dedicated to honest songwriting and an authentic connection with his audience, whether he's singing about the complexities of love or the breadth of the human condition.
