Bio
Born Gene Alvin White Jr., Recording Artist BG Whyte is the most talked about "Lyrical Landscaper" that you never heard of. BG lives his life around the mantra "My job is to plant the seeds; I let God provide the harvest!"
In a world filled with violence and turmoil, and a lack of positive words being broadcast throughout our urban communities, it is good to know that there are still artists out there that are pushing a message of hope, life, and freedom to anyone who will lend an ear. Bg Whyte does just that with his music.
Growing up in Pine Bluff, AR, BG was a lover of all types of music; influences include Michael Jackson, Brian McKnight, Earth, Wind & Fire, Babyface & More. Following the footsteps of some of his favorite songwriters, BG loves to tell a story with his songs. The goal is to take you through a journey of real life situations while providing a biblical application and giving his listeners the solution to those situations.
BG has survived tough times in his life. In 1999, he was involved in a single car accident which temporarily de-railed a promising future in his pursuit of a professional golf career. BG broke his hip in the accident totaling out the car. Fortunately, he would recover from his injuries. It was at this moment that Bg discovered there was a reason his life was spared. Although his purpose was not clear, he knew God left him here to finish what he was called to do.
This would not be the only major occurrence of medical issues that happened to Bg. In both 2008 and 2009 on 2 different occasions, Bg was attacked with a case of Bell's Palsey which left half his face paralyzed, once on the left side and once on the right.
Ever the over comer, BG took the condition in stride and often told loved ones around him that "He just wants to smile again" and with treatment both cases of the condition went away and BG has almost full functionality of his facial muscles. BG now shares his story with others who suffer with afflictions, or struggle with problems with their lives, his message is simple, "Positive thoughts, yield positive results."
BG released his first project in 2012, entitled "Diamond in the Rough" which focused on a BG's personal outlook on how he saw himself to God. A rock filled with beauty and potential that needed to be cut and polished in to the man that God wants him to be.
BG's new project "Front of the Class" was released Friday September 26th, 2014 on the Kingdom Music Group label imprint. This album goes deeper into BG's walk, comparing his to a student and God being the teacher. This album takes a different more progressive sonic direction than its predecessor and is sure to reach a broad range of individuals, pulling from soul, to the "trap" enthusiasts, to big band lovers and more.
