The Jake White Project was a short-lived New Jersey band that recorded three albums between 2004 and 2006.

The Jake White Project (aka JWP) was formed in 2004 in Whippany, New Jersey. It was the brainchild of Jake White, a songwriter from Millburn, New Jersey who had previously played in local bands Blue Eclipse and Stinson. He was joined by two high school friends; guitarist Doug Atkins and drummer Karim Faris, along with guitarist Greg Sierpowski and keyboardist Faris Faris (brother of Karim).

Once recording commenced, singer-songwriter "Liliana A." sang a few songs on the debut. The band's first album, Recreation, was released in June 2004. Shortly before the album tour, due to her inability to rehearse and commit to the band, "Liliana A." was told she was no longer the singer; she was replaced by Sandra Myers.

In May 2005, the band released its sophomore effort, Southbound, followed by another summer tour.

After the tour, both Faris brothers, Atkins, and Myers left the group. White and Sierpowski acted as a duo in making the third (and final) Jake White Project album, On My Own, in June 2006. Following the release of the album, the group formally disbanded. White and Sierpowski both went on to record their respective solo material.
