Jack White (birth name John Anthony Gillis; July 9, 1975, Detroit, Michigan, USA) is an American rock musician, singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, and actor.

During unofficial collaborations with various underground rock bands from Detroit, Jack founded the band The White Stripes together with his partner Megan White in 1997. The group's third studio album, White Blood Cells, released on July 3, 2001, brought the musicians international fame, accompanied by the popularity of the single "Fell in Love with a Girl" and its music video. In 2006, he founded the blues-rock band The Raconteurs, and three years later the supergroup The Dead Weather together with Alison Mosshart from The Kills and Dean Fertita from Queens of the Stone Age. Jack White is recognized by many as one of the key musicians in the garage rock genre.
