As most of his work was with English speaking musicians, White changed his name to make it easier to deal with English-speaking stars and their managers.

[2] In the international market, White's productions have sold millions of copies, earning Music Recording Certification awards.

[citation needed] Officially, White retired from the stage in 2014, with his last song being performed at ‘The Summer Festival at the Lake’, hosted by Florian Silbereisen.

[3] During this time, White financially supported the club in an attempt to bring it back to the top flight of German Football.

During his time there as a player, the club was separated from the Bundesliga due to being in Berlin, and not West Germany, and thus was not allowed to play at the same level it did before the World War II.

He loaned a total of 5.8 million Marks throughout his presidency, and was eventually succeeded by Göttinger Gruppe, a now bankrupt investment group.

[7] At the same time, White also began to produce and write music for other German musicians, and had his first hit, "Schöne Maid", sung by Tony Marshall, in 1971.

[9] Among the songs he produced or co-produced for the international market were Laura Branigan's "Gloria" (1982), Solitaire" (1983), "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" (1983), "Self Control" (1984) and "The Lucky One" (1984), as well as Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora's "When the Rain Begins to Fall" (1984).

He wrote several hit songs with Mark Spiro, including Zadora's "Let's Dance Tonight" (1984) and Hazell Dean's "Who's Leaving Who" (1988).

[citation needed] The chairman of JWP AG, Thomas M. Stein claimed that a breach of trust was the reason behind the dismissal.

[citation needed] As a producer, White worked with many international pop artists, especially the subgenre of synth-pop that was very popular in the 1980s.

[17][18] White's production work internationally has earned various Music Recording Certification awards for surpassing sales milestones in different countries, both in the German and English market.

White was also awarded an honorary Lion by the RTL Group for his work in the European music industry as a producer.
