Biografi
Whites självbetitlade debutalbum släpptes 1988 och producerades av L.A. Reid och Babyface. Skivan såldes i över 2 miljoner exemplar och uppnådde platinacertifiering i USA. Från skivan släpptes singlarna The Way You Love Me, Secret Rendezvous, Superwoman och Love Saw It. Den sistnämnda låten är en duett med Babyface.
Uppföljaren, Ritual of Love, släpptes 1991 och producerades av Jimmy Jam och Terry Lewis. Singeln Romantic uppnådde förstaplatsen på Billboard Hot 100 och blev därmed Whites största hit. Hon gifte sig med nämnde Lewis 1992 och bildade familj. De tog ut skilsmässa 1999.
Hennes tredje album, Make Him Do Right, släpptes 1994. Albumet sålde inte lika bra som hennes två föregående album. Från albumet släppte singlarna Hungah, Can I Stay With You och I'd Rather Be Alone.
White driver idag (2015) en egen inredningsfirma. 2012 släppte hon comeback-albumet Carpe Diem.
