Katie White - The Ting Tings
Birthday: 1983

Katie White was born on a small pig farm outside of Manchester. She began making music in 1998 in the band, TKO (Total Knock Out). The band was a non-professional punk-rock-girl-band formed by Katie White and two of her friends from school, Joanne Leeton and Emma Lally. TKO never got a record deal and only released on single for the internet only.

Katie White met Jules De Martino while at Leeds University. The two, along with a DJ friend, formed a group called Dead Eskiimo, which eventually received a record deal with a major label, but fell apart shortly thereafter. The band name came from Katie White's experience working with a Chinese colleague who told her that "ting" means "band stand" in Mandarin.
