Scarlett White on Music, Emotion, and Growing Up in a Creative Household

Scarlett White, the 19-year-old daughter of Karen Elson and Jack White, reflects on the emotion and intention behind music in an interview for the Spring/Summer 2026 issue of AnOther Magazine. She describes studying her favorite musicians' mannerisms, lyrics, and chord progressions, and recalls a pivotal moment watching Paul McCartney perform "Blackbird" at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, where the room fell silent. White, who moved to New York for art school in 2024, is also a model and musician, having appeared in campaigns for Valentino and Marc Jacobs and performed with her father at Irving Plaza. She grew up in Nashville in a home filled with instruments and a studio, balancing artistic expression with domestic normalcy.
