Bio

Known for keeping her identity hidden behind a big hat and sunglasses, Whyte separates her personal life from her music career, drawing listeners’ attention to her music rather than her appearance. Since 2020, Whyte has been a sensation in Taiwan’s music scene, releasing songs that blend chill-pop, R&B, and jazz styles, highlighting her husky, laid-back vocals. Her multilingual songs transcend physical boundaries and attract a global audience.

The emergence of Whyte led to her surprise release of a series of Youtube singles “Santé,” “Insomnia,” and “Cazzo” in 2019, each of which has amassed more than 2 million views to date. Whyte has become a household name and frequent performer at major festivals in Taiwan. Her talent has also spread overseas with performances at the Reeperbahn Festival in Germany, the ASAKUSA NEXT ASIA FESTIVAL and the Mind Travel Festival in Japan. Next, Whyte will start a collaborative single project with artists from Japan, Italy, US and UK to explore the overseas market with her mysterious voice.
