Trevor White was born in Essex, England. He sang and played piano with
the group Sounds Incorporated, and moved to Australia when the group
broke up. He played Jesus in Jim Sharman's 1972 Sydney production of
Jesus Christ Superstar. In 1974 while visiting London, White heard that
Sharman was auditioning singers to re-record Rocky's vocals for The
Rocky Horror Picture Show before the film's release (an unnamed session
singer was used as Rocky on the soundtrack album; Peter Hinwood did not
sing on the album or film, but mimed to the session singer's vocals
during filming). White auditioned for musical arranger Richard Hartley,
and dubbed Rocky's songs and vocal noises during editing at EMI-Elstree
Studios for the final mono film sound. White later toured with the
Kinks, then returned to Australia to work as a songwriter. Trevor White
was interviewed by Scott Michaels for his 2002 book Rocky Horror: From
Concept to Cult. Richard Hartley confirmed in the book that White
dubbed Rocky's part in post-production.
