Born and raised in Detroit as the youngest of 10 siblings, Jack White's utilitarian approach filters through all his work, from self-producing his own music to the Third Man empire he founded, to his upholstery and various other art and design pursuits. Over a quarter century into his professional musical career, White's ability to weave relevant, compelling, and poignant artistry to his music leaves him unparalleled. When the White Stripes started in 1997, no one, least of all White, ever expected that a red, white and black two -piece band would take hold in the mainstream world. The release of Elephant in 2003 not only cemented the band's reputation but also offered the #1 hit single 'Seven Nation Army', which has since been appropriated as arguably the most popular chant in sports stadiums around the world. On November 8, 2025, The White Stripes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
