Cameron Lew, a singer-songwriter and instrumentalist, is the leader of the American indie soul music project Ginger Root, which is based in Huntington Beach, California. Lew has self-described the project’s musical sound as “aggressive elevator soul”, also citing inspiration as coming from groups such as Vulfpeck, Toro y Moi, White Denim, Yellow Magic Orchestra, and Feist. On tour, Ginger Root has supported bands such as Khruangbin, Hippo Campus, Omar Apollo, and Last Dinosaurs, as well as headlining their own tour in the Fall of 2022, with supporting artists King Pari, Vicky Farewell, and Amaiwana.
Lew is the only member of Ginger Root in the recording studio. Matt Carney (drums) and Dylan Hovis, two of Lew’s high schoolmates, are currently performing with Ginger Root (bass).
