Ginger was born and raised in the Deep South, but after grad school, her passion for music took her out West to Los Angeles where she worked in the music business for over 20 years. Most of her time was spent at record labels and at 19 Entertainment, which owns American Idol, where she developed an expertise in marketing, branding and talent management. She worked closely with the founder and CEO of Interscope Records, Jimmy Iovine, and with may of the biggest artists over the last two decades. However, she prides herself on her “biggest releases,” her two teenage children who live with her and her husband in LA.
In 2016, following her stint at 19 Entertainment as both the head of marketing and an artist manager, she decided to trade in her fancy, designer jeans and learned how to love her lululemon’s. As she redirected her career (and her fashion sense) to that of a consultant, not only was she able to be more present to her growing children, she was able to be more present to herself. She rediscovered her own creative soul and reconnected to the artist that had been buried deep down inside. She decided that even in her “middle age phase,” it wasn’t too late to change careers and be an artist herself. In describing her own personal story, Ginger says “at times my journey has been extremely difficult and sometimes painful, but I know that every step – even those in the wrong direction – have led me to the happiest place I’ve been in decades. It is also what motivated me to create Misplaced Life. Its message about the necessity of our individual journeys is very personal to me. I hope that by sharing our own stories and perspectives, people will be empowered to embrace and share their own.”
In addition to creating the Misplaced Life podcast with her BFF, Donzell Lewis, Ginger continues to work on various writing projects, has launched a new career as a Voiceover Artist, and is pursuing an acting career as well. “It’s never too late to be you,” she says. And when she’s not doing any of those things, you’ll find her tucked away in her son’s garage music studio or being a soccer mom watching her daughter play. And yes…..ALWAYS in those "lulu's!"
