Why is Gin Wigmore making headlines in New Zealand? The answer is simple: she has returned home after 13 years in Los Angeles, not only bringing her musical talents back but also opening a new delicatessen in Auckland.
Wigmore’s new single, titled Country Diamond, marks her return to the music scene, showcasing her evolution into a more rock’n’roll style. She describes this phase as one of rebellion, saying, “I was getting way more down into this rock’n’roll sort of track that felt authentic to what I was kind of – I was getting tattooed, I was staying up late, I was like out with bands…” This reflects a significant shift from the mold created for her by labels in the States.
Located in the vibrant suburb of Kingsland, the delicatessen adds another layer to her multifaceted career. Since her return, Wigmore has been busy writing new music that resonates with her personal journey and artistic growth.
Her time abroad has influenced not only her music but also her approach to life in New Zealand. The transition back home comes with its challenges and opportunities as she navigates both the culinary and musical landscapes.
The community is eager to see how her ventures unfold. While she has made strides in establishing herself locally again, questions linger about how her music will evolve further and what other projects she might pursue.
