Gin Wigmore

In 2004, she became the youngest winner of the International Songwriting Competition when at age 18, her song "Hallelujah" took the grand prize.

She is heavily tattooed, and there is one she regrets: the one on her lower back. She calls it a "tramp stamp."

The backing band for her 2009 debut album Holy Smoke was The Cardinals, who were Ryan Adams' band. Adams had recently married Mandy Moore and was taking some time off, so the group took the gig as a side project. The Cardinals never reunited with Adams and disbanded soon after.
