There is more than one artist with the name Whitey:
1.Whitey is an ongoing solo project by N.J Whitey. He collects books, strange memories and childish grudges. He is a hard character to pin down- his genre-twisting songs swing wildly between styles, and his dismissive attitude towards the music industry means there are few shows, and even fewer interviews. He has to date had no major record deal, but has still released over 30 records under a variety of names. Yet without any significant industry investment his distinctive sounds have broken through to mainstream daytime radio in the U. S and elsewhere, and for four straight years his music has been a fixture from rock clubs to fashion runways, from movie soundtracks to television, computer games to skate films. From Japan to Iceland, Moscow to Hollywood. From the Sopranos to Grand Theft Auto. Gradually this cult U.K artist has built a strange home in the shadowy ground between high fashion and mainstream entertainment, between pop radio and what little is left of the underground. An outsider who relishes this status, and celebrates this outsider ethos in his work.
What else? He’s lived in a variety of places, but you could say he finished growing up in Coventry. He now lives in Berlin. He sings, programs, plays guitar, keys, bass and drums but has no formal qualifications and is totally self taught. His live shows are haphazard- some are an uplifting rhythmic experience, whilst some occur in deliberately darkened rooms and are hedonistic affairs drenched with chaotic walls of feedback and electronic noise. Others may swing from ferocious rock moments to gentle simple melodies played on tiny bells, acoustic guitars and toy instruments.

Since September Whitey has had "NEW ALBUM OUT NOVEMBER" on his MySpace. It's November 1st which could mean a delay in the announced release date. I went to contact his record label and find out any information I could and it seems www.marquischacha.co.uk no longer exists and their MySpace hasn't been used in some time. We want more Whitey!
