Winton White began vocal training at the age of 28, immediately launching his career as a professional freelance vocalist in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Started as a countertenor for local Episcopal and Catholic churches, Winton gradually became a regular countertenor/tenor for Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and Cathedral Of Saint Mary Of The Assumption. While composing and performing his own art songs, Winton has also participated in opera as a chorus member for Bernstein's "Candide" and as a conductor for "Carmen" with a local opera company in Los Angeles.
Still active as a singer, Winton continues performing on stages in Yokohama/Yokosuka as well as live houses in Tokyo as a bassist and backing vocalist for rock, funk, and jazz groups.
