Verdine White
He is often called the most electrifying bass player in the world. He is a consummate entertainer whose primary purpose is to ignite and excite his audience. A classically trained bassist, he is intelligent, articulate, charismatic, and outrageously stylish with a flair for the extraordinary. Meet Verdine White!
In 1969, along with his brother Maurice, Verdine formed Earth Wind & Fire – one of the most successful pop and R&B bands of all time. EW&F defined the era of sound that embodied passion, joy and the warm feeling of love, for people of all ages, races and religions. On stage, Verdine’s constant motion, enthusiasm and energy have deemed him the “ultimate fire” of the band.
Verdine’s creative insight has been instrumental in producing many of EW&F’s unforgettable performances. Their stage productions are replete with spectacular costumes, laser lights, pyrotechnics and fascinating illusions, bringing international attention to their magnetic style while raising the live concert bar to new levels.
EW&F has sold over 70 million albums worldwide, receiving countless awards, (and double-platinum, platinum and gold albums) including 8 Grammys, 4 American Music Awards, ASCAP, NAACP, and BET Lifetime Achievement Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With a catalog of mega-hits spanning over 3 decades, EW&F remains to this day one of the world’s top touring attractions.
Off stage, The Verdine White Foundation’s Wright Life Center for the Performing Arts is a non-profit music and arts related center in Los Angeles, CA, for at-risk and underprivileged youth. Its mission is to expose, enrich and foster an appreciation and awareness of fine arts, with an emphasis on music.
Married for over 25 years, Verdine is a family man who believes that artists should remember to give back to the community. His gifts as a visionary, entertainer, producer, musician and fashion trend-setter have touched millions around the world.
Verdine White is now available for speaking engagements, with upright bass demos.
