Whitenoise’s local achievements have helped him push barriers, most independent artist wouldn’t fathom. Most think his name is controversial with him being a Caucasian male and having white in his name but it’s actually nothing more than a pun. White Noise is actually a sound that drowns other sounds out giving his name more than one meaning. He has been an icon to any artist wanting to obtain an entity name thought to be impossible and is considered to have one of the best images in his state. Whitenoise’s life was far from normal. James grew up on the North end of Toledo in an environment that imbued drugs and violence most of his childhood. He was involved in many cases which ultimately led to Lucas County Children Services stepping in and taking him away from his parents at the age of 10. He then got his life turned around when his aunt and uncle took custody of him. He graduated from high school in 2012, and changed his life for the better. Unsure of what he wanted to become in life at first, he fell into confusion that led him to seek his roots. He got a job working for a non-profit organization to intern at a studio known as Reel2Real Studio under the wing of his mentor Hedmac, where he soon met NBMG (North Boy Music Group) and became an important member of their team. He helped them put out many projects, but eventually left to pursue his own solo career. Before meeting NBMG, Whitenoise had his own label hidden in his back pocket. Whitenoise claimed the name of the city and created Glass City Records. He established Glass City Records in 2015 after his first single “419” was released.
