The 24 year old from Mesa, AZ says that her music has been greatly influenced by James Taylor, Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, the Eagles, America, Carly Simon, Bee Gees, Hall & Oats, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt…(a pretty long list). She currently lives in Van Nuys, California. Prior to American Idol, she was a nanny. White has been singing since the age of 15 and she also plays the piano and guitar.

The year 2006 saw the release of her full length debut album “Songs From the Attic.” She hasn’t had much formal training in music, as she says she is not the most technical singer. And her husband has decided not to cut his hair, until she gets “cut” from the show.

One of her closest friends Harris-Torriente says, "She could sing in front of two people at the piano or two million, it wouldn’t make a difference, I think she’s generally humbled by the whole experience. I don’t think she needs recognition to feel good about herself."
