Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, a degenerative eye condition left Ginny completely blind by the tender age of three. As her vision diminished, her love of music and the piano expanded, and Ginny discovered songwriting as a window into her unseen world. The unique perspectives inspired by her vision impairment have resulted in inspirational lyrics paired with her diverse musicianship to afford her a space on an even more diverse set of stages, including the Sundance Film Festival, Lilith Fair and the White House, and recordings that transcend genre expectations. Owens’ first book, Singing in the Dark, was released on May 1.
Ginny Owens has been releasing thoughtfully crafted songs for over twenty years. Since her Rocketown Records debut, Without Condition, Owens has recorded more than ten albums, garnering critical success, chart-topping radio singles, and numerous film and television placements.
She also gives us multiple writing prompts that use the music you're already listening to!
