CMB 056 : Ginny Owens

Today on the Podcast, singer/songwriter Ginny Owens shares her very inspiring story.

Born with poor eyesight that lead to blindness at the age of two, Ginny found a home at the piano, and a love for crafting songs.

We talked about how she started her music career, her songwriting process, her upcoming album set to release later this year, and more.

Ginny has released 13 projects, won three dove awards (one being new artist of the year in 2000), and even started a non-profit organization called The Fingerprint Initiative.

Though she has quite an impressive resume for her career, it's her heart for God, and her story expressed through her songs, that shines the brightest.
