About Whitton

Introducing Whitton

Fusing a flare of 20's/40's Americana mixed with unique commercial hooks, this must see artist has song styles ranging from Norah Jones, Feist and Billie Holiday.

Whitton's self titled 2009 album celebrates the song placement of "Apple Tree" in the upcoming film release, "5th Quarter", (starring Aidan Quinn, Andie MacDowell, Ryan Merriman). She performes with a full 10 piece band which includes strings, horns, mandolin/banjo, piano, guitars, upright bass and drums. These live and recorded musicians on Whitton's upcoming album have played with top acts such as, Stevie Wonder, Kool and the Gang, Chaka Kahn, etc. You won't want to miss this experience, we promise!

Whitton, the youngest born of 6 musical siblings, began singing at age 6, She's recorded four full length albums with acclaimed producers David Hauser (Redbone, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Iron Butterfly), Kevin White (writer for Billy Ray Cyrus) and Ronan Chris Murphy (King Crimson, Dishwalla).

Whitton's also won numerous awards including "Best Female Acoustic Rock Artist" by the New York Music Festival and been featured as a guest vocalist on Showtime's Emmy-Nominated hit series "Dexter". Heralded as having the spirit of a gypsy and the discipline of a soldier, Whitton independently continues to constantly write and record new material while touring relentlessly. Currently, Whitton is recording her newest album, self titled, collaborating with producer / co-writer Ian Coyne. Critics have described Whitton's new sounds as-

"1930's music that never felt so modern and loved" Speak EZ Radio - James James

"Whitton offers more than pretty presentation and a pretty voice. What is especially intriguing about her is an element of strangeness that is uniquely endearing instead of off-putting. Her vocals invite you in for happy story time and concurrently warn you to listen carefully or else." - Jon Hershfield, founder- isgoodmusic.com

"Whitton is the whole package - the rare combination of captivating performer, song stylist, and writer. She knows exactly who she is and she's ready for the spotlight." - Ted Lowe - Choicetracks / Recurrent Records

Whitton is a unique young talent. And she’s got it all - looks, charm, vocals & songwriting ability. Her potential is limitless." - Liz Redwing - (Management & Interscope Records' former music publishing arm)

"Whitton's songs will make you remember why you love listening" Iceman Steve Phillips, Tiger Radio

BRYAN PHILLIPS, Radio Personality at MIX 92.9 KOMG: “WHITTON’S” music is right on the money, powerfully original, and keeps my listeners asking for more!”

“Dance”

“The expression of love, grace and elegance
A movement of intimacy, empowerment, romance
Riding the crest of an ocean wave
Gliding through the air on a breezy day
My body on Earth my soul reaches away
To Heaven.
The religion of rhythm
A moth to a candle
A key to a slave of
Pleasure and pain
I take my first emancipated steps
Freedom
This is my chance.
That’s where I go
When I
Dance.”
