Bella White

Born and raised in Calgary, Bella White developed a deep affinity for Appalachian folk, country, and bluegrass at an early age. As she moved across North America—living in Vancouver, Boston, and New Orleans—she honed a sophisticated sound that blends traditional bluegrass and Appalachian roots with modern Americana, revealing a depth well beyond her 25 years. Hailed by NPR as “a voice for the ages,” White brings striking emotional honesty to her work. Her debut album Just Like Leaving (2020) and its follow-up Among Other Things (2023) earned widespread critical acclaim, with praise from Rolling Stone, Consequence, and American Songwriter. Her music has appeared in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and, more recently, in multiple episodes of The Waterfront. A rapidly rising presence, White has taken the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, SXSW, Stagecoach, and the Newport Folk Festival and has toured with notable artists including Dierks Bentley, Tyler Childers, and The Red Clay Strays.
