Hartley C. White was born in Kingston, Jamaica and currently resides in Queens, New York.
He was educated at Kingston College and Queens College.
Musically, he was classically trained on the piano, with certificates from The Royal School Of Music.
His other musical knowledge comes from personal contact with the Jamaican
music scene through its development as well as listening to all types of music from around the world.
Hartley sings, writes and plays various instruments including guitar, keyboards, drums, percussion, harmonica, and recorder.
He has developed his own musical style, Whopazootic music, which bypasses the various known musical categories and utilises a broken rhythm derived from martial arts.
He has released three albums, "Run The Gauntlet"’ , "Coming Out Fighting",
and "Face The Music", and is currently working on a fourth album.
