White values his privacy and has been known to create misdirection abo he has been called "eccentric." He and Meg divorced in 2000. He married the model and singer
in 2005. They divorced in 2013. Together, they have a son and daughter. He currently resides in .
John Anthony Gillis was born in , , the youngest of ten children—and the seventh son—of Teresa (née Bandyk) and Gorman M. Gillis. His mother's family was , while his father was of -Canadian descent. He was raised a , and his father and mother both worked for the
(as the Building Maintenance Superintendent and secretary in the Cardinal's office, respectively). Gillis became an , which landed him an uncredited role in the 1987 movie , filmed mainly at
parish in southwest Detroit.
Gillis' early musical influences were inherited from his older brothers, and he learned to play the instru he began playing the drums in the first grade after finding a kit in the attic. As a child, he was a fan of classical music, but in elementary school, he began listening to , , and . As a "shorthaired [teenager] with braces," Gillis began listening to the
and 1960s rock that would influence him in The White Stripes, with
being among his favorite blues guitarists. He has said in interviews that Son House's "Grinnin' in Your Face" is his favorite song of all time. As a drummer, his heroes include , , and Crow Smith from .
In 2005, on , he told
that his life could have turned out differently. "I'd got accepted to a seminary in , and I was gonna become a priest, but at the last second I thought, 'I'll just go to public school.' I had just gotten a new amplifier in my bedroom, and I didn't think I was allowed to take it with me." Instead, he got accepted into the famed
as a business major, and played the drums and trombone in the band. At 15, he began a three-year
apprenticeship with a family friend, Brian Muldoon. He credits Muldoon with exposing him to punk music as they worked together in the shop. Muldoon goaded his young apprentice into forming a band: "He played drums", Gillis thought. "Well I guess I'll play guitar then." The two recorded an album, Makers of High Grade Suites, as .
As a senior in high school, he met Megan White at the Memphis Smoke restaurant where she worked, and they frequented the coffee shops, local music venues, and record stores of the area. After a courtship, they got married on September 21, 1996. In a reversal of tradition, he took her last name.
After completing his apprenticeship, he started a one-man business of his own, Third Man Upholstery. The slogan of his business was "Your Furniture's Not Dead" and the color scheme was yellow and black—including a yellow van, a yellow-and-black uniform, and a yellow clipboard. Although Third Man Upholstery never lacked business, he claims it was unprofitable due to his complacency about money and his business practices that were perceived as unprofessional, including making bills out in crayon and writing poetry inside the furniture.

At 19 years old, Jack had landed his first professional gig as the drummer for the Detroit band , and was still in that position when the band broke up in 1996. It was in this band that he learned about touring and performing onstage. After the split, he settled into working as an upholsterer by day while moonlighting in local bands, as well as performing solo shows. Though a bartender by trade, Meg began to learn to play the drums in 1997 and, according to Jack, "When she started to play drums with me, just on a lark, it felt liberating and refreshing." The couple became a band, calling themselves The White Stripes, and two months later performed their first show.
Despite being married, Jack and Meg publicly presented themselves as siblings, and keeping to a chromatic theme, dressed only in red, white, and black. They began their career as part of the Michigan's
music scene. They played along with and opened for more established local bands such as , , Two Star Tabernacle, Rocket 455, and the Hentchmen, among others. In 1998, the White Stripes were signed to —a small and
Detroit-based garage
label—by Dave Buick. The band released its
in 1999, and a year later the album was followed up by the cult classic, . The album eventually peaked at number 38 in ;;'s
In 2001, the band released . The album's stripped-down garage rock sound drew critical acclaim in the US and beyond, making The White Stripes one of the more acclaimed bands of 2002, and forefront figures in the garage band revival of the time. , an influential DJ and the band's early advocate in the UK, said they were the most exciting thing he'd heard since Jimi Hendrix. The New York Times said of White, "beneath the arty facade lies one of the most cagey, darkly original rockers to come along since ." The album was followed up in 2003 by the commercially and critically successful . The critic at
wrote that the album "sounds even more pissed-off, paranoid and stunning than its predecessor ... darker and more difficult than White Blood Cells." The album's first single, "", became the band's signature song, reaching number one on the
chart for three weeks, winning the 2004 , and becoming an international sporting and protest anthem. The band's fifth album, , was recorded in White's own home and marked a change in the band's musical direction, with piano-driven melodies and experimentation with
and a more rhythm-based guitar playing by White.
The band's sixth album, , was released in 2007, and unlike their previous
albums, it was recorded in Nashville at Blackbird Studio. The album was regarded as a return to the band's earlier blues and garage-rock sound. It debuted at number two on the US
chart, and entered the
at number one, selling over 300,000 vinyl copies in England alone. Of his excitement for vinyl, White explained, "We can't afford to lose the feeling of cracking open a new record and looking at large artwork and having something you can hold in your hands." In support of the album, they launched a Canadian tour, in which they played a gig in every one of the country's provinces and territories. However, later that year, the band announced the cancellation of 18 tour dates due to Meg's struggle with acute . A few days later, the duo cancelled the remainder of their 2007 UK tour dates as well.
White worked with other artists in the meantime, but revealed the band's plan to release a seventh album by the summer of 2009. On February 20, 2009—and on the final episode of —the band made their first live appearance after the cancellation of the tour, and a documentary about their Canadian tour—titled —debuted later that year at the . However, almost two years passed with no new releases, and on February 2, 2011, the band reported on their official website that they were disbanding. White emphasized that it was not due to health issues or artistic differences, "but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band."

White founded Third Man Records in 2001. However, it was not until after he moved to Nashville that White purchased a space in 2009 to house his label. He explained, "For the longest time I did not want to have my own studio gear, mostly because with the White Stripes I wanted to have the constriction of going into a studio and having a set time of 10 days or two weeks to finish an album, and using whatever gear they happen to have there. After 10 to 15 years of recording like that I felt that it was finally time for me to have my own place to produce music, and have exactly what I want in there: the exact tape machines, the exact microphones, the exact amplifiers that I like, and so on." Using the slogan "Your Turntable’s Not Dead," Third Man also presses vinyl records, for the artists on its label, for White's own musical ventures, as well as for third parties for hire.
In March 2015, Third Man joined in the launch of , a music streaming service that
purchased and co-owns with other major music artists. Later that year, White partnered with the watch manufacturer
to open a retail location in Detroit.
White owns many instruments and, historically, has tended to use certain ones for specific projects or in certain settings. He has a preference for vintage guitars, many of which are associated with influential blues artists. Much of his equipment is custom-made, for both technical and aesthetic reasons.
During his career with The White Stripes, White principally used three guitars, though he used others as well. The red, ","
was a vintage 1964 model originally distributed by
department store. Though used by several artists, White's attachment to the instrument raised its popularity to the extent that
began producing a modified replica around 2000. The 1950s-era
Hollowbody was a gift from his brother in return for a favor. It was the same brand of electric guitar made popular by , and White most famously used it on "Seven Nation Army." He began using a
(often called the
model) on the Icky Thump in an interview for Gibson, he called the instrument his favorite. He also used a three-pickup Airline Town & Country (later featured in the "Steady As She Goes" music video), a
Rocket, a 1970s-era
Astral II, and what would become the first of three custom Gretsch Rancher Falcon acoustic guitars. While with the Stripes, any equipment that did not match their red/black/white color scheme were painted red.
were still in development, White commissioned
to create what White called the —a custom guitar styled after the
double-cutaway guitar. Parsons's first product was painted copper color, however he decided to create a second version with a completely copper body, which White began to use instead. For the Raconteurs first tour, White also played a
and three Filtertron pickups. He later added a custom Gretsch Anniversary Jr. with two cutaways, a lever-activated mute system, a built-in and retractable bullet microphone, and a light-activated
next to the Bigsby. White has dubbed this one the "Green Machine", and it is featured in It Might Get Loud. He sometimes played a , a
in Cadillac Green, and a second
acoustic guitar. For the Raconteurs' 2008 tour, he had
plate all of his pedals in copper.
He has since acquired another Gretsch, a custom white / signature
with a gold double pickguard (as seen in the music video for "Another Way to Die"). White found a
in 2007 while on tour in Texas—the same one he used in the music video for ""—which ultimately fit in with the Dead Weather's color scheme. He also uses a black left-handed one since the Dead Weather album
came out.[] He has also been known to play , featuring one in the music video for Loretta Lynn's "Portland, Oregon."
White owns three Gretsch Rancher Falcons because he says that its bass tones make it his favorite acoustic to play live. They are collectively referred to as his "girlfriends," as each one has an image of a classic movie star on the back.

White uses numerous effects to create his live sound, most notably a
to create the rapid modulations in pitch he uses in his solos. White also produces a "fake" bass tone by playing the Kay Hollowbody and JB Hutto Montgomery Airline guitars through a Whammy IV set to one octave down for a very thick, low, rumbling sound, which he uses most notably on the song "". He also uses an MXR Micro Amp and custom Electro-Harmonix
Distortion/Sustainer. In 2005, for the single "Blue Orchid," White employed a
Polyphonic Octave Generator (POG), which let him mix in several octave effects into one along with the dry signal. He plugs this setup into a 1970s
"Silverface" and two 100-Watt Sears
amplifiers. He also used a 1960s Fender Twin Reverb "Blackface".
On occasion, White also plays other instruments, such as a Black Gibson F-4
("Little Ghost"), piano (on most tracks from , and various others), and an
on such tracks as "The Air Near My Fingers" and "I'm Finding it Harder to be a Gentleman". White also plays percussion instruments such as the
(as on "The Nurse"), drums and . For The White Stripes' 2007 tour, he played a custom-finish Hammond A-100 organ with a Leslie 3300 speaker, which was subsequently loaned to , and currently resides at Third Man Studios. On the album Broken Boy Soldiers, both he and Benson are credited with playing the album's
and organ.
With the Dead Weather, White plays a custom Ludwig Classic Maple kit in Black Oyster Pearl. Notably, it includes two-snare drums, which White calls "the jazz canon." For the 2009 Full Flash Blank tour, White used a drum head with the Three Brides of Dracula on the front, but in 2010, White employed a new drum head, upon the release of Sea of Cowards, which has an image of The Third Man himself: Harry Lime attempting to escape certain capture in the sewers of Vienna. During the American leg of the 2010 tour, White switched his drum head again featuring a picture of himself in the guise he wore on the cover of Sea of Cowards. This drum head is called Sam Kay by some fans, referring to the insert inside of the 12" LP.[]
"I love analogue because of what it makes you do. Digital recording gives you all this freedom, all these options to change the sounds that you are putting down, and those are for the most part not good choices to have for an artist," and "Mechanics are always going to provide inherent little flaws and tiny little specks and hisses that will add to the idea of something beautiful, something romantic. Perfection, making things perfectly in time and perfectly free of extraneous noise, is not something to aspire to! Why would anyone to aspire to such a thing?"
Jack White
White has long been a proponent of analog equipment and the associated working methods. Beginning in the fifth grade, he and his childhood friend, Dominic Suchyta, would listen to records in White's attic on weekends and began to record cover songs on an old
tape machine. The White Stripes' first album was largely recorded in the attic of his parents' home. As their fame grew beyond Detroit, the Stripes became known for their affected innocence and stripped-down playing style. In particular, White became distinguished for his nasal vocal delivery and loose, explosive guitar delivery. In an early New York Times concert review from 2001, Ann Powers said that, while White's playing was "ingenious," he "created more challenges by playing an acoustic guitar with paper taped over the hole and a less-than-high-quality solid body electric."
His home studio in Nashville contains two rooms ("I want everyone close, focused, feeling like we're in it together.") with two pieces of equipment: a Neve mixing console, and two Studer A800 2-inch 8-track tape recorders.
In his introduction in the documentary film, , White showcases his minimalist style by constructing a guitar built out of a plank of wood, three nails, a glass , a guitar string, and a pickup. He ends the demonstration by saying, "Who says you need to buy a guitar?" In a 2012 episode of the show, , White made a cameo in a sketch spoofing home studio enthusiasts who prefer antique recording equipment. For $300,000 in January 2015, an online bidder won an auction for Elvis Presley's first recording ever—an acetate of the two cover songs: "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin". In its March 6, 2015 edition, Billboard magazine announced the buyer had been White. The vinyl was recorded at SUN Records in
in the summer of 1953 when Presley was 18 years old.
White has enjoyed both critical and popular success, and is widely credited as one of the key artists in the
of the 2000s.
ranked him number 70 on its 2010 list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". 's 2011 list ranked him at number 17. He has won eight Grammy Awards and both of his solo albums have reached number one on the Billboard charts. Interviewers note the wide breadth of the music styles and eras he draws from for inspiration. In May 2015, the
announced that it would be honoring White (along with Loretta Lynn) with a medallion at its re-opening in Nashville.
Much has been made of White's "showmanship" and affectations. Since the beginning, critics have debated the "riddle" of White's self-awareness against his claims of authenticity, with people falling on both sides of the issue. Joe Hagan of The New York Times asked in 2001, "Is Mr. White, a 25-year-old former upholsterer from southwest Detroit, concocting this stuff with a wink? Or are the White Stripes simply na?ve?" Alexis Petridis, of The Guardian, said that White "makes for an enigmatic figure. Not because he's particularly difficult or guarded, but simply because what he tells you suggests a lifelong penchant for inscrutable behaviour." White himself confesses, "Sometimes I think I'm a simple guy, but I think the reality is I'm really complicated, as simple as I wish I was".
White is protective of his privacy and gives few details of his family life, even going as far as to disseminate false information. He states that he does not consider his personal life relevant to his art, saying "It's the same thing as asking , 'What kind of shoes do you wear?'...In the end, it doesn't really matter ... the only thing that's going to be left is our records and photos."

Jack and Meg officially divorced on March 24, 2000. In 2003, he had a brief relationship with actress , whom he met during the filming of . That summer, the couple were in a car accident in which White broke his left index finger and was forced to reschedule much of the summer tour. He posted the footage of his finger surgery on the web for fans. White and Zellweger's breakup became public in December 2004.

their marriage. Manager Ian Montone was the best man and Meg White was the . Official wedding announcements stated that "it was the first marriage" for both. In 2006, the couple had a daughter. Their second child was born in 2007.
The family resided in , a suburb south of Nashville, where Elson managed a vintage clothing store called Venus & Mars. Elson provided vocals on White's first solo record. However, the couple announced their intention to divorce in June 2011, throwing "a positive swing bang humdinger" party to commemorate the split. On July 22, 2013, a Nashville judge barred White from having "any contact with Karen Elson whatsoever except as it relates to parenting time with the parties' minor children." A counter-motion was filed on August 2, 2013, stating that "The reason for filing this response is that Mr. White does not want to be portrayed as something he is not, violent toward his wife and children." The divorce was finalized on November 26, 2013. Elson later recanted the charges, attributing the "aggressive" proceedings to her divorce attorneys, and saying "those who gain of a marriage ending helped to create a downward spiral at my most vulnerable." White agreed, saying, "When shitty lawyers are in a situation like divorce, their goal is to villainize." The former couple reportedly remain on good terms.
White has been called "." He is known for creating mythology
examples include his claim that the Stripes began on , that he and Meg are the two youngest of ten siblings, and that Third Man Records used to be a candy factory. These assertions came into question or were disproven, such as when, in 2002, the
produced copies of both a marriage license and divorce certificate for him and Meg, confirming their history as a married couple. Neither addresses the truth officially, and Jack continues to refer to Meg as his sister in interviews, including in the documentary , filmed in 2007. In a 2005 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jack alluded to this , implying that it was intended to keep the focus on the music rather than the couple's relationship:
"When you see a band that is two pieces, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, you think, 'Oh, I see...' When they're brother and sister, you go, 'Oh, that's interesting.' You care more about the music, not the relationship—whether they're trying to save their relationship by being in a band."
It became hypnotic. This was the minimum amount of staples I could put to hold this fabric down. The number three exemplifies the almost iconic, mysterious perfection that cannot be obtained...To this day, I still think about it all the time.
White, on how seeing three staples on a upholstery piece triggered his affinity for the number three.
He has an attachment to the number three, stemming from seeing three staples in the back of a
couch he helped to upholster as an apprentice. His business ventures frequently feature "three" in the title and he typically appends "III" to the end of his name. During the White Stripes 2005 tour in the UK, White began referring to himself as "Three Quid"—"" being British slang for pound sterling.
He maintains an aesthetic that he says challenges whether people will believe he is "real." He frequently color-codes his endeavors, such as the aforementioned Third Man Upholstery and The White Stripes, as well as Third Man Records, which is completely outfitted in yellow, black, red, and blue (including staff uniforms). As a
enthusiast—that correlates to his work as an upholsterer—he decorates his studio in preserved animals, including a peacock, giraffe, and Himalayan goat.
On December 13, 2003, White was involved in an altercation with , lead singer of , at the Magic Stick, a Detroit club. White was charged with

"I so love your heart that burns
That in your people's body yearns
To perpetuate, and permeate, the lonely dream that does encapsulate,
Your spirit, that God insulates,
With courageous dream's concern"
—Excerpt from "Courageous Dream's Concern," as published in the
White has repeatedly referenced conflicts that erupted between him and fellow artists in Detroit's underground music scene after The White Stripes gained international success. In a 2006 interview with the , he said that he eventually left Detroit because, "he could not take the negativity anymore." However, in an effort to clarify his feelings towards the city of Detroit itself, he wrote and released a poem called "Courageous Dream's Concern." In it, he expresses his affection for his hometown.
During their 2013 divorce proceedings, Elson entered into evidence an e-mail White had sent her that included disparaging remarks about . When asked about the incident in a 2014 Rolling Stone magazine interview, White stood by the remarks saying, "I'll hear TV commercials where the music's ripping off sounds of mine, to the point I think it's me. Half the time, it's the Black Keys." He later apologized for the comments. However, in September 2015, Patrick Carney of the band posted a series of tweets alleging that White tried to fight him in a bar. White denied the claim in a statement to the online magazine , saying that Carney should talk to him directly, and not on the internet. The following day, Carney posted a tweet saying, "Talked to jack for an hour he's cool. All good." White tweeted on the Third Man Twitter account, "From one musician to another, you have my respect Patrick Carney."
On February 1, 2015, the
newspaper OU Daily ran a story regarding White's February 2 show at McCasland Field House that included the publication White's tour . The rider, especially the guacamole recipe it included and White's ban of bananas backstage, received significant media coverage.
