About

Blanco White, the moniker of British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Josh Edwards, is a master of sonic alchemy, blending Andean folk, flamenco, and indie-folk into a sound that feels both ancient and refreshingly modern. Inspired by his travels across South America and Spain, Edwards crafts ethereal soundscapes anchored by intricate guitar work, haunting vocals, and a deep reverence for global musical traditions. His music is a bridge between cultures, evoking the vastness of the Andes and the intimacy of a candlelit flamenco tablao. Emerging in 2016 with his debut EP *The Wind Rose*, Blanco White quickly garnered attention for his unique fusion of styles. Tracks like "Olalla" and "Colder Heavens" became indie anthems, earning him a devoted following and critical acclaim. His 2020 debut album, *On the Other Side*, further solidified his reputation as a boundary-pushing artist, exploring themes of longing, displacement, and connection. Blanco White’s cultural impact lies in his ability to weave diverse influences into a cohesive narrative, creating music that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. His collaborations with artists like ODESZA and his inclusion in major playlists and festivals have expanded his reach, while his meticulous production and storytelling continue to set him apart. Currently, Blanco White is working on new material, teasing fans with glimpses of his evolving sound on social media. With a growing global audience and an unwavering commitment to artistic exploration, Blanco White remains one of the most compelling voices in contemporary folk and world music.
