Biography

Ginger Winn has never known a life without music.

The daughter of a lightning photographer and a songwriter, Winn is a self-taught songwriter, musician, producer born and raised in South Carolina. Between her father who put a ukulele in her hand at birth, a house full of interesting instruments and her mother who created ideas for Winn to turn into songs, her upbringing immersed her in creativity from the very beginning.

By age nine, Ginger had already dedicated herself to a life of music. As an annual project, Ginger and her mom wrote and recorded an album every year throughout her childhood. It didn’t take long for her to realize what they were teaching in school did not align with what she needed to learn. She could not imagine doing anything with her life other than making music, so she didn’t bother pursuing anything else. Traditional education quickly fell out of step with her ambitions, and by sixteen, she had left school behind entirely.

Of course, she had to take on jobs to survive—one being a pastry chef for over three years while she made music on the side. Ginger was a talented baker, but she was born to be a songwriter. She was tortured by the idea that what she really needed to be making for people was music, not cakes. She needed to create. She needed to escape.

In 2021, she moved to South Africa to be with her partner, also a musician, and launched a freelance career in music production. Working online, Ginger began creating custom songs for clients–transforming ideas, memories, and even poems into finished tracks. She accepted an assignment from a client named Tina Baione, who reached out on Upwork with a unique request: to turn her husband Matthew’s private poems into music. Ginger’s response to that post became “Super 8,” her debut single. The creative chemistry was instant, and the three have been collaborating ever since. She didn’t know it at the time, but the Baoine’s would then go on to become her creative partners and create a label branch of their creative consultancy, Keep Good Company Records, to sign her. She released her debut album STOP-MOTION produced by the legendary David Baron, in June 2024. A year later, she released her sophomore album Freeze Frame produced by multidisciplinary artist and producer A.J. Yorio.

For the past two years, Ginger, Matt, and Tina have been making music together as an art collective. Everything they make is rooted in the visuals – how it looks and feels has always been as important as how it should sound.

Ginger’s work is nostalgic yet fresh, blending folk-pop melodies with intimate lyrics and cinematic production. With each release, she invites listeners into a world that feels handcrafted, honest, raw, and emotionally resonant.
