Biography

Ginger Winn has never known a life without music. Born in Charleston, SC and now living in Kingston, NY, the self-taught songwriter, musician, and producer creates dreamy, wistful music that feels both intimate and cinematic, blending folk-pop warmth with evocative lyrics and lush production. 

Ginger left school at 16 to focus on music, supporting herself by working as a pastry chef. By day, she crafted beautiful desserts; by night, she spent her time crafting melodies. Baking paid the rent, but songwriting fed her spirit. Eventually, the pull became impossible to ignore: she didn’t just want to make music for people—she needed to.

In 2021, she moved to Cape Town, South Africa to be with her partner, also a musician, and pursue music full time. She launched a freelance production career, composing custom songs for clients around the world, translating their ideas, memories, and even private poems into finished tracks. One unusual request on Upwork changed everything: a woman asked Ginger to turn her husband’s poems into music. The creative spark between the three of them was immediate. Those remote collaborations became the songs that shaped Ginger’s debut album—and that husband-and-wife duo, Matt and Tina Baoine, would soon become her closest creative partners. They believed in her so much that they founded a label branch of their creative consultancy, Keep Good Company Records, to sign her. The song she wrote in response to that Upwork post became “Super 8,” her debut single.

Ginger flew to New York to record her first album, Stop-Motion, produced by the legendary David Baron (The Lumineers, Noah Kahan, Lenny Kravitz). Released June 7, 2024, the album quickly put her on the map, and she was almost instantly invited on a West Coast tour with the Gipsy Kings—where her solo acoustic sets won over crowds night after night.

Through Baron, Ginger met A.J. Yorio, known for co-writing Michael Marcagi’s breakout viral hit “Scared to Start.” The creative connection was undeniable, and AJ’s rock-based production was exactly the sound she was looking to lean into. She flew to his studio Talking Wire in Cincinnati, Ohio to record an album. A year later, on June 13, 2025, she released her sophomore album Freeze Frame, produced by Yorio. The record marks a bold shift in her sound—leaning into a fiercer, darker alt-rock terrain while still holding onto the atmospheric magic that defined her debut.

Since launching her career, she has collaborated with dozens of greats: playing shows with Lost Leaders’ Byron Isaacs and Peter Cole, opening for Gail Ann Dorsey, Carly Pearce, and collaborating with legends like Jack Petruzelli and up and coming talents like Lee Falco and Will Bryant. She headlined the first-ever Waterfall Sessions, a waterfall-side concert at Woodstock Way as well as iconic venues like The Colony, The Falcon, Park Theater, and Bowery Electric.  

For the past three years, Ginger, Matt, and Tina have worked together as an art collective, building music outward from visuals. They see sound and image as inseparable: each project begins with a world, a feeling, a texture. With every release, she invites listeners into a universe that feels nostalgic yet new; tender yet fearless–a world crafted by hand, lit by a lightning strike from within.
