Recording Artist Ginny Owens on Songwriting, Recording & the Creative Life
As I’ve mentioned before here on the podcast, one of the big benefits of hosting your own show is that it gives you the opportunity to talk to really cool people!
Today’s episode is no exception. I’m excited to bring you my conversation with the amazing Ginny Owens. I was introduced to her music back in 1999 with her album Without Condition, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Ginny Owens has spent the past two decades sharing her heart with listeners and readers as a singer/songwriter, author, teacher, and advocate. Her unique musical style and inspirational lyrics have transcended genre definition and taken her to diverse venues that include the White House, the Sundance Film Festival, Lilith Fair and the National Day of Prayer in Washington, D.C.
Ginny has also been an adjunct professor at her alma mater, Belmont University, served as a worship leader, partnered with non-profits, and authored two books, the latest of which is Singing in the Dark: Finding Hope in the Songs of Scripture.
She also just released her newest album a few weeks ago! It’s called I Know a Secret, and it’s fantastic! If you’re a fan of thought-provoking music and great songwriting, you’ll love it as well.
Ginny and I talked about her life as a recording artist, how she got started in music, her songwriting process, the value of having a portfolio of creative work, and much more.
As a side note, one of the most frequent frustrations I hear from writers is that they want to write, but they don’t like marketing. If you have ever felt that way, I know you’ll be encouraged by Ginny’s perspective, which is that it’s not marketing—it’s encouraging.
This was definitely a very encouraging conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
