Chanteuse Country US née
Lari Michele White, le 13 Mai 1965 à Dunedin (Floride). Lari White est
décédée le 23 Janvier 2018.
Most
contestants on televised talent shows never are able to forge a lasting career,
but Lari White is the exception that proves the rule. After winning on the
Nashville Network's You Can Be A Star, White went on to become one of the most
popular female new country singers of the mid-'90s, breaking through into the
big time in 1994.
Born and raised in Dunedin, FL, Lari
White began performing when she was a child, singing in a gospel group with
her parents and brother. The group, called the
White Family Singers, sang at local church and community gathering. After a
while, the children began working pop music into the act, most notably Elvis
Presley. As a teenager, Lari sang
show tunes at talent contests and sang with a local rock & roll band. She earned
a scholarship to the University of Miami, where she studied vocals and music
engineering. After a while, she began writing her own songs, singing in local
clubs at night and taking professional singing jobs. Upon graduating from
college, she travelled around the United States, looking at various local music
scenes. In 1988, she decided to move to Nashville and try to become a
professional.
Later in 1988, she appeared on the Nashville Network's You
Can Be a Star and won the first prize. The award led to a record contract with
Capitol. Before the end of the year, she had released a single on Capitol, "Flying
Above the Rain," which became a regional hit in the South but failed to break
into the big time. Later that same year, she joined Ronnie
Milsap's publishing house and began taking acting lessons. For the next few
years, White continued
in this vein, choosing to hone her talent, sing in local dinner theaters and
wait for another break. That break arrived in 1991, after an ASCAP showcase
revived interest in her talents. Following the showcase, Rodney
Crowell asked her to sing backup vocals in his live band. In 1992, White signed
a record contract with RCA and Crowell produced
her debut album, Lead
Me Not, which was released the following year.
Lead Me Not received strong reviews and produced three minor hit singles: "What
a Woman Wants," "Lead Me Not," and "Lay Around and Love You." Wishes, White's
second album, became her breakthrough release, producing the Top Ten singles
"That's My Baby," "Now I Know," and "That's How You Know (When You're in
Love)." Don't
Fence Me In, White's
third album, wasn't quite as successful as its predecessor, but it continued her
success. Stepping Stone followed in 1998. In 2004, after a lenghty hiatus that
found the artist building her own home studio, White released
the self-produced Green Eyed Soul on the UK based Mesmerizing Records.
