Jack White, born John Anthony Gillis on July 9, 1975, in Detroit, Michigan, is an American musician, producer, and actor who has become an emblematic figure in alternative rock. Gaining prominence as the lead vocalist and guitarist of The White Stripes, a duo he formed with then-wife Meg White, Jack quickly became known for his raw, garage rock-influenced sound, boundary-pushing aesthetics, and an affinity for blending blues with modern rock. The White Stripes' success was marked by their minimalist approach but massive sonic presence, particularly captured in albums like "White Blood Cells" and "Elephant," the latter of which included the ubiquitous hit "Seven Nation Army."

Following The White Stripes' disbandment in 2011, Jack White's legacy has continued to flourish through his solo work and multiple side projects, including The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. White has been lauded for his ability to marry his love for the past—evident in his reverence for vintage equipment and traditional recording techniques—with a perpetual drive for innovation. Albums like "Fear Of The Dawn" and "Entering Heaven Alive" underscore his relentless creativity as a songwriter and musician. With his record label, Third Man Records, he has also become an influential force in the music industry, championing vinyl records and new artists alike. Jack White remains a prolific and enigmatic figure whose impact resonates both in his visceral live performances and through his continually evolving discography.
