Ginny Owens - Born and raised in Jackson, Miss., Owens was discovering melodies on the piano almost before she could complete a sentence. Sunday school songs and common childhood tunes began to emerge from her fingers even as vision began to leave her eyes. By the age of three, a degenerative eye condition left Ginny completely blind. Despite her physical challenge, music just made sense to her, quickly becoming a lifeline for both understanding and communication. Songs provided a window into a world Ginny couldn’t see, but they also offered an outlet for her to express her own thoughts, dreams and questions. To this day—after more than a decade of writing, touring and crafting music as a full-time recording artist—Ginny’s songs retain the intimacy of journal entries and the insight of her unique perspective. Moreover, her music boasts the diversity of a lifetime of sonic influences, from the soulful gospel and blues of her Southern roots to the introspective lyrical styling of folk heroes to the classic innovation of artists like Carole King and Stevie Wonder. Since her debut album release, Without Condition in 1999, Owens has sold nearly a million records and performed more than 1,500 concerts, including sets at prestigious events like Lilith Fair, the Sundance Film Festival and the White House. Garnering honors such as the Dove awards for New Artist of the Year in 2000 and Inspirational Song of the Year in 2001, Owens’ music has found its way to the top of the radio charts and into scenes in television shows.
