Ginny's Music Journey
Ginny Blackmore decided to follow her dream of becoming a musician when she was just 16 years old. Her school principal even encouraged her to leave school early to focus on her music career, and her parents supported her choice.
She started her journey in London, where she got a special deal to write songs for other artists. Ginny wrote songs for famous singers like Christina Aguilera and Adam Lambert. But soon, she realized she wanted to sing her own songs! So, she wrote and performed her own songs, SFM and Bones.
Ginny's amazing talent caught the attention of music manager Mark Sudack. She then signed with Epic Records, a big music label. In June 2013, she performed "Bones" on the TV show Live with Kelly and Michael. Later that year, in November 2013, she even opened for the band OneRepublic at their concerts in Auckland and Wellington.
Ginny is still signed with Epic Records. In March 2015, she appeared on the New Zealand version of The X Factor. She helped mentor the "Girls" category for Stan Walker and performed her song "Love Me Anyway" on the show.
