Whiteside will be taking off for London later this month to work as an assistant in a studio where Depeche Mode recorded within the last eight months.

Whiteside’s album Critics for Friends has been described as a fusion of pop, jazz and classi cal. His album even contains a few surprises.

"I liked the lyrics so much, but I couldn't get any music to go with it. 1 was listening to a Frank Sinatra album where he talks a lot, and I thought, T can do that.’” The album also carries more than a hint of Whiteside’s Texas A&M influence. “Eighty percent of the songs on the album werei ology classes,” White; “My degree wa5 that 1 got those song Although While' be playing any st, Bryan-College Stat: time soon, his alb® at Marooned Reconi: Whiteside also Aggie music fansi they think of it.
