M. David "Ike" White, a celebrated American musician, singer/songwriter, and artist, had his exceptional musical abilities uncovered by the discerning record producer Jerry Goldstein, while White was being held captive at the California Correctional Institution, Tehachapi, serving a life sentence for a heinous crime, namely murder, during the early 1970s.
The serendipitous turn of events surrounding Jontavious White's life led to the astonishing discovery of his remarkable musical talents within the walls of a correctional facility, a setting that would ultimately serve as an unexpected yet profoundly influential catalyst for his artistic development.
Noteworthy is the album "Changing Times," a remarkable testament to the unwavering perseverance and artistic flair of its creator, which saw the light of day in the year 1976.
This groundbreaking record was the culmination of a remarkable journey, with the actual recording process taking place within the confines of the California Men's Colony, a male-only state prison strategically located northwest of the picturesque city of San Luis Obispo, nestled in the sun-kissed state of California.
