Clifford White
Clifford White is an award-winning music composer, recording artist and producer whose uplifting, inspiring and healing music has enabled millions worldwide to experience the benefits of deep relaxation and inner peace.
Clifford pioneered the UK new age music movement in the mid 1980's with his bestselling angelic music album Ascension, a gentle and serene album revered for its calming and healing qualities. In the following years, Clifford further perfected his craft and ran a professional recording studio in London where he produced both established and emerging new age acts. Clifford eventually clocked up writer and producer credits on more than 26 albums for numerous record labels in the UK and worldwide.
Clifford is best known for producing a style of instrumental music which fuses electronic, progressive, ambient, jazz, world and orchestral music into his own unique signature sound. To date he has produced 21 solo albums, each with their own style and mood: from the epic themes and sweeping soundtracks of The Gods Of Olympus and Atlantis, the Latin-jazz influenced Twilight Paradise, the powerful and percussive Myths of the Rock or the gentle and richly relaxing Revelation and Aqua. Clifford enjoys surprising his audience and as a result he is widely respected in the genre for producing quality albums that are inspiring, absorbing and unique.
His 2019 four volume SYNERGY series - which include the Waterworld, The Speed of Silence, Robot Dawn and Cityscape albums - traverse a wide range of styles and influences, with homages paid to Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream amongst other notable synthesizer luminaries of the 60's, 70's and 80’s who played a significant role in Clifford’s early musical development.
In 2021 Clifford proudly accepted four awards for his soundtrack to the film Lawrence: After Arabia, a sequel to the 1962 blockbuster Lawrence of Arabia starring Peter O'Toole. Composing 75 minutes of original music for the film, Clifford was joined on the soundtrack by Rick Wakeman, Guy Protheroe (Vangelis, Rick Wakeman and Eric Lévi), The English Chamber Choir, Chris Thompson (Manfred Mann, Alan Parsons, Jeff Wayne) and Bruce Woolley (co-writer of Buggles “Video Killed the Radio Star”).
Clifford continued his penchant for tetralogies in 2022 with the release of his Heaven Sent series, a collection of four albums exploring spirituality and emotion, from the tender and bittersweet classical ambience of Mystic Heart to the grandeur and awe of Higher Power, Clifford's compositional flair and production expertise continues to evolve and mature with each album release.

Whatever Clifford's chosen musical style or genre, at the root of all of his music is an abiding sense of the spiritual. Clifford believes in the existence of the spirit and the soul, and the continuation of this essence beyond the physical. His spiritual beliefs pervade all of his music, and this acts as a medium through which Clifford aspires to offer his listeners a glimpse beyond the veil, to the joy, romance, mystery and majesty of the spiritual realm.
Clifford's fascination for the spiritual and the paranormal was kindled during his early childhood when an unusual experience awakened him to the possibility of the existence a spiritual dimension coexisting within our own. He has studied spirituality and the paranormal throughout his life and has channelled his creativity to reflect this fascination into a music career spanning 40 years.
