Gingger Shankar

Gingger has already had the chance to work with some of the best musicians in the business. Gingger has collaborated with such uniquely talented and diverse artists as The Smashing Pumpkins, Trent Reznor, Zakir Hussain, Phil Collins, Steve Vai, Peter Gabriel, Tony Levin, Cheap Trick and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra to name just a few.

As a solo artist, Gingger is dedicated to stretching her boundaries and spreading her wings, always experimenting with elegant and exciting mixtures of sounds. She weaves an intricate tapestry of musical styles that entrances audiences worldwide, and the grace and beauty of her creative presence continue to be the golden thread running through every song she touches. She is currently working finishing work on her new album.

Gingger co-composed and performed on Mel Gibson's Oscar nominated score 'The Passion of the Christ'. She also has scored several films including the 2011 Sundance Audience winner "Circumstance", by Maryam Keshavarz. She attended the Sundance Composers Lab and also collaborated with James Newton Howard on "Charlie Wilson's War" as well as assisting George S. Clinton on Mike Myers' "The Love Guru".

Gingger is the only female in the world that has mastered the 10-string Double Violin, an instrument that covers the entire range of the orchestra’s double bass, cello, viola and violin, and of which there are currently only two in existence. Coupled with her voice, which covers five octaves, the sound is unparalleled, unbridled, and unforgettable.
