Gin Wigmore's music career
Inspired by David Gray's album White Ladder, Gin Wigmore wrote her first song, Angelfire, at the age of 14. Two years later her father passed away of cancer and she stopped writing and playing music.
She went to Argentina on an exchange program to teach at a kindergarten.
On her return to New Zealand, she wrote Hallelujah, a tribute to her father. Her sister entered the song in the US-based International Songwriting Competition in 2004, and she beat 11,000 songwriting aspirants from 77 countries to become the youngest and only unsigned Grand Prize winner in the history of the competition. She also won the Teen category with Angelfire.
