From a beginning in 2006, she released her debut album in 2007, a follow-up in 2009, and her third album in 2011. Influenced by American blues, folk, and the mythologies of different cultures along with contemporary female singer/songwriters such as Kate Bush, she has been compared to Chan Marshall of Cat Power and Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star. While such comparisons to contemporaries are frequent, White's music owes a clear debt to classic female jazz and blues singers such as Billie Holiday.
White's haunted blues quickly found a home on Oakland's Double Negative Records with them only hearing her four-track demo. Fooling around with music since pre-school, White started on piano around the same time she learned to read, eventually picking up the guitar during her college days.
After graduation White moved to Bordeaux, France, where she performed with a bevy of independent French artists further honing her songwriting skills. Upon returning stateside, she moved to SF and began recording four-track demos formulating the songs that would ultimately become her debut album, Dark Undercoat.
Her second album entitled Victorian America was released in 2009 in France (and in 2010 in the U.S.). it was written largely in San Francisco and Oakland.
Her third album entitled Ode to Sentience was released in 2011.

Emily Jane White Lyrics
Bessie Smith I said oh oh, Bessie Smith why do you hang…
Blue Blue, so blue, was your love, that I held and…
Dagger Oh when you stumble every time you walk, Oh when you…
Dark Undercoat The axes who pacify with gold, And they walk right into…
Hole In the Middle Everybody's got a little hole in the middle, Everybody do…
Sleeping Dead Hang on, hang on, hang on…… I saw a flash in…
The Demon If there was a demon would you hold her? And be…
Time On Your Side He drives a truck And he makes time on his side But…
Two Shots to the Head I don't wanna break my back, you seem so funny…
Wild Tigers I Have Known Silence is a power and tool, for you, for you Wild…
