Ginger Root

Ginger Root is the project of American musician Cameron Lew, hailing from Huntington Beach and celebrated for his sophisticated blend of city pop and funk. Rooted in a colourful palette that draws on Japanese City Pop, classic soul, and a fresh take on indie bedroom pop, Ginger Root’s music is often described as "Aggressive Elevator Soul". This nuanced approach has led to a distinct sound, marked by smooth grooves and inventive arrangements that distinguish Lew within contemporary indie and funk circles.

Ginger Root’s discography reflects a dynamic evolution, with standout releases including the atmospheric EPs “Nisemono” (2022) and “City Slicker” (2021), and albums such as “Rikki” (2020). The highly anticipated album “SHINBANGUMI” is slated for release in September 2024, promising to further explore the project’s unique sonic territory. The project has also become known for captivating music videos accompanying tracks like "Loretta", "City Slicker", and "Le Chateau", further cementing Ginger Root’s reputation for creative storytelling through both sound and visuals.
