Today we’d like to introduce you to Show Whight.
Show Whight started his musical career when he joined the choir in elementary school. He always knew, even from an early age, that singing was his passion. He always believed and still does that with the right determination, anything can happen. Show Whight started with classical vocal lessons given by an international opera singer. Today, he still enjoys the West Coast’s charm in the beautiful Los Angeles where he was born and raised. Earlier in his childhood his brother who is six years older and played the drums was the first one to inspire Show to enter the world of Rock Music, but his brother was not the only musical talent in their family. Show’s father as well was a songwriter. As a kid, Show used to write songs during class and skip school to go to choir practice. Today he still likes to live dangerously and pushes himself and his talent towards perfection. Show always seeks to do something different, things that other people aren’t doing. Show’s music is soul touching and truly captures the essence of rock music.
Influences: Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, David Bowie, Elvis Presley.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Almost everything is a struggle when trying to make your dreams come true, but you can never forget that the journey and the struggles is what make you who you are today. I moved out to live on my own at the age of seventeen with only $700 in my pocket to pursue my singing career. I had to work jobs I did not want to work, and did a lot of things I did not want to do just to support myself, my career, and follow my dreams.
Can you give our readers some background on your music?
I am a singer-songwriter. I am very proud of my belief, faith, and knowing who I am as an artist, which can be very hard for many. I am a rock and roll singer with a vision to inspire a new generation to enjoy and listen to rock music. I do what I do because I enjoy it and truly believe in my sound. Other people liking my music is a bonus.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Persistence, persistence, persistence. Having a lot of faith and belief is very important to follow your dreams, or else it would be very hard to do so. Charles Chaplin once said ‘You have to believe in yourself, that is the secret’. This quote really meant a lot to me.
