Blanco White is the musical alias of London-based artist Josh Edwards, who embarked on a unique journey to blend elements of Andalusian and Latin American music with his English folk roots. The project was born as Edwards sought to combine the technical craft he admired in traditional flamenco with broader songwriting sensibilities. After studying guitar in Spain and later the charango in Bolivia, Edwards crafted an atmospheric sound that is at once sweeping and intimate, characterized by his plaintive vocal style and intricate string work.
The name Blanco White is a reflection of this infusion of cultures—a bridge between two worlds. Edwards released his first EP, "The Wind Rose," in 2016, introducing audiences to his deeply textured and globally-influenced folk sound. He has continued to captivate listeners with a steady stream of evocative music, featuring stirring tracks such as "Colder Heavens" and "Nocturne." With albums like "On the Other Side," released in 2017, and the "Time Can Prove You Wrong EP," Blanco White's sound has continued to evolve - captivating listeners worldwide with emotionally resonant and sonically lush compositions. Notable recent releases such as "Mano a Mano" and "Desert Days" maintain his signature blend of introspective lyricism and cross-cultural musical exploration, leading listeners through a journey that is as thoughtful as it is audibly stunning.
