I create groove-driven pop with a trance-like pull. Accessible, never predictable. A solo artist in full control, my music rewards attention and stays with you. jodywhitesides.com for the curious

I was there for King's X. Protein opened. Josh Zee spent the set bouncing on the House of Blues stage. Playing cowpunk metal with surgical precision. Songs About Cowgirls holds up. Strange concepts, razor sharp grooves, a live show that matched all of it. What's an opening act that blindsided you?

This character doesn't act on impulse — everything is planned, precise, and completely without conscience. That's Zodiak Killer. That's the rebuild.

18 and Life. Youth Gone Wild. I Remember You. Three different worlds on one album. Saw 'em in a tiny Boston club while @ Berklee. Same attitude live as on the record. Back then I had one clear plan: if I got a record deal, Michael Wagener was producing it. What's an album that made you dream bigger?

Five years old. A van. An unfamiliar city. Don't Stop playing as we pulled up to the skatepark. I can still sing every song on Rumours. Never learned to play a single one. Some music you protect by leaving it alone. What's an album you've never touched, just listened to?

In stereo a vocal sits flat. In Atmos it has a position in the room. On headphones it feels like the singer moved. That's Clears Again. That's the rebuild.

Baby Now I was in The Cutting Edge. Most people know the song without knowing the band. Went mountain biking w Dan Reed in LA years later. Nearly killed him. Wrote of it. He defended me in comments. The Heat still lives in my funkier tracks. What's an artist whose influence snuck up on you?

It's not one thing that breaks you — it's everything hitting at once and nothing ever giving back. That's Rob Me Blind. That's the rebuild.

The Cars found me before I had a guitar in my hands. Moving in Stereo meant 1 thing. Fast Times changed it. Years later I played it solo acoustic at the film's 25th anniversary, met some of the cast, earned the applause. Some records follow you. What's an album that keeps showing up in your life?

This is a little close to home with some sad news. Back in the late 90s, I, along with several musician friends, were part of a group of songwriters tasked with writing songs 4 Mr. Muldoon. We never know when something will rock us off this rock. Be well. Be kind. We'll miss you Patrick. R.I.P.

Berklee. Late 80s. Cult of Personality on repeat. I had classes with professors who taught guys in Living Colour. That proximity made Vivid hit differently, controlled chaos that somehow always landed. What's an album that proved something to you?

Let Go came out and Complicated was everywhere before anyone had time to catch up. I spent that summer figuring out who wrote these songs. That curiosity changed how I heard everything after. What's an album that took you somewhere you didn't expect?

Collective Soul broke up before Blender existed. One song caught fire without them. The label called. Ed brought it back. Why Pt. 2 has a guitar tone I've been chasing for years. Still haven't cracked it. What's an album you keep coming back to?

Album I love: 5 by Lenny Kravitz Heard Fly Away in a movie theater sitting next to Jeff Scott Soto. We got into a conversation about whether those stacked vocals were edited or just that perfect. Turned out the question mattered more than the answer. Fav: Fly Away What's yours? #ThrowbackThursday
