Paperwhite is an American dream pop and synthpop musical duo based in New York City, comprising siblings Ben & Katie Marshall.

[1] Although they had written many songs together as teenagers, they decided to form a band in 2013 after Katie, a singer-songwriter, graduated from the Berklee College of Music, where Ben had also studied.

[4][5] Their song "Pieces" was premiered on The Guardian's music blog in October 2014,[6] and Spin magazine's website streamed Paperwhite's debut EP, Magic, in November 2014.

Billboard premiered the band's single "Unstoppable" on February 2, 2016, describing it as "starlit" and noting that Paperwhite had previously earned the title "Most Blogged Artist" twice on Hype Machine.

The blog, GoingSolo, called it "super summery" and "a feast of dreamy synth stabs, bold melodies and pounding electronic percussions"[12] Paperwhite initially drew inspiration from pop music of the 1980s for their output, as well as from acts such as Aphex Twin, Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, Marvin Gaye, Postal Service, Tears for Fears, and Stevie Wonder.
