Ginger Jamie
Ginger Jamie, a former member of the UK boyband Exposure, grew his online following by posting covers and live performances on Instagram. This acquired popularity allowed him to sell out multiple venues without releasing any music. Ginger Jamie has debuted as a solo artist with “Goodbye To Love” and has new music coming in the next few months.
