About Whit Hemphill
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was about three or four, my Dad would take me for drives around the neighborhood to fall asleep. He would always play classic 80s hair metal, AC/DC, G&R, etc. Somehow I developed the habit of falling asleep to this music. I still can and do.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Joy Division, Unknown Pleasures (2019 Digital Master) Remastered Neutral Milk Hotel, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds These three albums represent three stylistic influences that have carried me to this point in my music. The emotional impact and the brilliant sound design and soundscapes of them have changed my viewpoint on music numerous times and continue to.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Keeps Turning” I feel like Keeps Turning is a perfect blend of Indie Rock, Shoegaze, Noise Rock, Pop, and Digicore. I think this song combines all of my influences into the most potent, catchy, and tuneful song I've ever made. Every time the drop comes I feel it.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Honestly, releasing my most recent album! The response has been magical and I feel that I am setting the foundations for something truly big to come out of it in the next year. I've been working at it for so long and I feel something coming soon.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? The only thing I truly have on my bucket list is to sell out and play Madison Square Garden. Everything and anything else I want to do I feel like I can and will, but that's always been my number one pipe dream.
