Ragan Whiteside

Ragan Whiteside is a Soul Jazz flautist, vocalist, and songwriter and she is at it, again, with her latest single, “JJ’s Strut” from her upcoming release Five Up Top. “JJ’s Strut” is a feel-good song for the ages, treating the listener to a much needed 4-minute break from the craziness of 2020.  It is the 3rd single from Ragan’s upcoming album, following on the heels of 5 consecutive Billboard Top 10 hits “Reminiscing”, “Jam It”, “Early Arrival”, “See You at the Get Down”, and Billboard #1 and Smooth Jazz Network’s song of the year “Corey’s Bop,” which made Ragan the first female flautist to hold the #1 spot on three major smooth jazz charts, simultaneously. A musical prodigy since the age of five, Ragan found her way to the flute after the piano, the violin, and a turn with the drum set. She attended the Cleveland Institute of Music and the prestigious Harid Conservatory, where her sound was honed with the tried-and-true classical training, graduating with a Bachelor of Music Performance degree. Ragan Whiteside is a resident of Atlanta, GA, and tours globally. Stay tuned for Ragan’s 5th album, Five Up Top, to be released in Summer 2020! Five Up Top is Soul-Jazz Flautist Ragan Whiteside’s 5th studio album, showcasing a collection of 5 songs with funky grooves and soulful melodies that are Ragan’s signature sound.
