Brilliant oddball, precious artiste, brainy heartthrob - Ginni Hogarth may be considered any or all of these, but whatever ID tag one sticks her with, there's no secret as to what makes for a powerful Ginni composition. When she hooks together her accomplished piano, her live band and that voice, the results can't help but grab an ear. Expect bigger things..."

Sarah - PANARTIST – London

As well as being an accomplished pianist, self-taught guitarist and a wonderful songwriter, Ginni is also a fantastic performer. Her 'girl at piano' songs are dreamy,particularly the title track of her album Between These Walls, and Starburst (not on the CD sadly) where she sings, bathing in the language, soaking up the sun, drowning in forever, falling just for fun”. It's her acoustic guitar songs that allow her to project her spunky attitude as she throws her head back, jerks her shoulders and stamps her feet.

"For her posture and mannerisms Ginni has been described as a female Paul Weller. She has a unique vocal style that can be compared to Skin of Skunk Anansi, (not only when she's screaming her head off), Kate Bush and Sinead O'Connor - all rolled into one."

Previous winner of “BBC Song of the Year” Competition, singer-songwriter and performer, Ginni, is a powerful talent not to be ignored. As an accomplished pianist, cellist and self-taught guitarist, Ginni has become very versatile in her song writing and performance. She is a vibrant performer with a captivating affect on her audience.

After a successful career in Musical Theatre/TV in South Africa gaining national press and TV coverage, Ginni moved to the UK to pursue her vocation as a singer/songwriter and pianist. With many challenges and without a piano to hand, she took to teaching herself to play the guitar. This opened a whole new approach to song-writing and allowed her to expand in her performance.

Ginni has performed at various venues around the UK, as well as Amsterdam, California and South Africa. Her self-financed debut solo album ‘between these walls’, was released in June 2001 and she toured and promoted this album in the UK solo and with her band. This tour included venues such as The Kings Head – Fulham; The Halfmoon – Putney; Break for the Border – Oxford Circus and many more nationwide. This album sold just over 2500 copies at gigs alone.

In July 2004, Ginni released her 2nd album 'sweetest dream', which became a limited edition album due to her signing to Madam Music, an independent label in September that same year.

This deal led to her recording her 3rd album 'GINNI' at London's Westside Studios in collaboration with producer James Hallawell. Ginni's single 'Jump the Sky'  appeared on the 'British at Midem' sampler cd, alongside music from artists such as Nizlope, Goldie Lookin Chain and the Delays.

The 2 year deal came to an end in October 2006. Ginni is no longer affiliated with Madam Music.

Ginni has been resting for the most part of 2007. Still writing and with a vast catalogue of songs in her pocket, she is looking forward to releasing many more albums. Watch this space in 2008.
