The son of an American professional basketball player and a French flight attendant, Sylvain White was born in France and grew up mostly in Paris. He is known primarily for directing the blockbuster film, Stomp the Yard.

After attending La Sorbonne University for law, his creative talent won him a scholarship to Pomona College in California, where he graduated with honors in both Media Studies and Film and Video Production. While still in school, Sylvain wrote for and worked with directors such as Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze at Propaganda Films. Upon graduation, a series of award-winning short films aided him in achieving international notoriety. The '25th Frame' and 'Urban Short Circuit Mind Scrape' received numerous awards including The Directors' Guild of America Short Film Awards. Leveraging on his success with the short film format, he went on to direct a series of music videos in the US, Europe and Japan.[1]
