White Elephant was formed in the summer of 2014 by Kaliening and Li Wen formerly of the band “8 Eye Spy.” They started as a violent and chaotic drum & bass duo but with the addition of guitar and violin, the groups swelled becoming more cool and gloomy. By the summer of 2016, the lineup had solidified with Kaliening on vocals, Li Wen on drums, Wang Fei on guitar, Yu Diwen on bass and synth, and Xie Ning on violin.

Their debut album is set for release in 2019. When asked about their music they reply; “Of course we have characteristic style, we just don’t want to define ourselves with humble classification. For your convenience, you can just label us ‘Adult Music’”.
