The discography of British singer-songwriter Whitey consists of seven studio albums, three extended plays, fourteen singles and three music videos. As a producer Whitey also has several remixes and songs made.

Contents

Making his debut as solo singer in 2003, during the last twenty years Whitey had passed through several music labels, ending up as independent musician, who creates and sells recordings by himself. Due to the lack of promotion almost all his releases were not represented in any major chart, except the "Non Stop / A Walk in the Dark" single, which peaked at number 67 in the UK Singles Chart in 2005.
