As part of the great hard rock migration to Los Angeles in the mid-'80s, Michael White (born Michael Whitehead on December 30, 1962) logged countless hours as a bassist in numerous bands (including Panther, featuring vocalist Jeff Scott Soto, Arsynyl which featured vocalist Ron Keel (band), and Diamond Dogs which featured vocalist Lizzy Borden) before joining hard rockers Mojo Rib in 2003. His melodic style, often compared to that of Cheap Trick’s Tom Petersson and Aerosmith's Tom Hamilton, is one of the defining elements of the quintet’s unique sound. His first appearance on a Mojo Rib album was 2006’s In For Sin on the Nuthing Sacred label. He currently lives in New York City.
