“I write about things that have happened to me, my family and friends. We all have secrets that can be told through a song,” says the singer-songwriter ErnieJ White who is currently based in Gisborne, New Zealand where he has been busy fine tuning his skillset as a singer-songwriter and producer.

After having experienced a traumatic accident in which the recovery process took several months, ErnieJ wasn’t able to play his guitar and instead took to songwriting in a unique and interesting way. As he slowly but surely began to heal, he continued to write lyrics and melodies that would eventually shape into his signature alternative rock sound. From his low end, raspy like vocals to the hypnotic melodies that he weaves in and out of his songs, ErnieJ is quickly carving out a name for himself.

Having performed alongside international touring acts such as Big Daddy Wilson, Isaiah Brunt and Shaun Kirk, as well as iconic Kiwi music legends Dragon. ErnieJ embraces his live shows and uses the energy from these moments to continue creating inspiring tracks that people of any background can connect with and appreciate. There is an emphasis within his work about being present and enjoying the ‘now’ moments in life and relishing in the hidden surprises of what’s to come with each day that passes.
