Megan Martha White was born in the affluent Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, on December 10, 1974, the daughter of Catherine and Walter Hackett White Jr.
In 2009, she married guitarist Jackson Smith, the son of musicians Patti Smith and Fred "Sonic" Smith. She and Jack publicly portrayed themselves as siblings, but public records revealed in 2001 that they had married in 1996 and divorced in 2000, before the White Stripes became popular. White calls herself "very shy" and keeps a low public profile. White has not been active in the music industry since. After a few public appearances and a hiatus from recording, the band announced in February 2011 that they would be disbanding. While on tour in support of the White Stripes' 2007 album Icky Thump, she suffered a bout of acute anxiety and the remaining dates of the tour were cancelled. The band quickly became a Detroit underground favorite before achieving international fame with their 2001 breakthrough album White Blood Cells. They decided to form The White Stripes together, and began performing two months later. White's music career began when, on a whim, she played on her future White Stripes bandmate Jack White's drums in 1997. She is credited as one of the key artists in the garage rock revival of the 2000s, and has been nominated for various awards as a part of the White Stripes, including winning four Grammy Awards.
