Jonathan Dean White, known professionally as Nevada, is an American musician, DJ, producer and songwriter. White grew up listening to a lot of rock music and played and sang in bands throughout and after high school. His musical influences include Incubus, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as DJs such as Calvin Harris, Kaytranada, and Alesso. Nevada’s style is influenced by electronic dance music, particularly the house and hip hop/trap scenes.

White spent a good majority of his career as the lead singer to Capital Kings. In February 2016, White decided to depart in pursuit of a solo career under this new moniker. Nevada was soon signed to Straight Forward Music Group and moved to Stockholm, SW. In September 2016, Capitol UK asked White to remix “Return of the Mack” by Mark Morrison for the song’s 20th anniversary. The track was simply titled “The Mack” and featured Fetty Wap. The remix blew up in the dance scene in Europe and wound up going double platinum. However, it wasn’t until August 2018 that White re-debuted his vocal abilities with his single “Don’t Call Me” through Virgin Records.

In 2020, Nevada founded his own label High Park Records. The label’s first release was Nevada’s third single “Lie To Me” on June 26, 2020. Aside from occasional remixes, Nevada hadn’t released many singles until “Ride Or Die” in 2024.

In the same year, White decided to make Christian music under his first name, Jon. However, for reasons left unsaid, he decided to discontinue ‘Jon’ and just release the music he wants to release as Nevada, releasing “Rescue” in late 2025.
