Gail Ward

Trinidadian born Gail Ward is no stranger to change and taking risks. She takes a “novel” approach to life, art and work. “My parents always said life should read like a novel…no one wants to read one chapter…make it interesting!”
Interesting it has been indeed!

Gail is creative to her core and has used that creativity to the maximum from her beginning. She was born a dancer and fine-tuned that talent by studying dance performance and education at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center in New York. Her passion for dance as a means of storytelling lead her to expand her talents to include choreography, acting and writing to create more three-dimensional story-based multimedia performance pieces. Working with other like-minded artists, Gail was able to create and showcase her own work at various multidiscipline venues such as the DIA Arts Center, BAM, PS122 and the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies. In creating her own work and performances she was able to hone her organizational and production skills that moving forward came in more than handy.

Gail was able to take her creativity and merge it with her well-oiled organizational skills to write a new chapter working in the music industry. Beginning in the vibrant A&R Department at Sony Music/Epic Records, she cut her teeth working on recording and developing artists. Artists include Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Sade, Living Colour, Pearl Jam and legendary artist Michael Jackson . Her stint at Epic opened the doors to working with many artists and companies. Some of her past positions have included – Artist Development at DV8/A&M Records, Artist Management @ Levin Management, A&R Administration & Production Management at Artemis/V2 Records. She is also versed at organizing and running Live & Taped Shows, Special Events and Tours for artist. Working with companies and venues such as SIRIUSXM, BET, MTV, Madison Square Garden, The House of Blues, The Cutting Room.

When the tide of the music industry changed; like many, Gail looked for new opportunities to broaden and utilize her skill set. A chance encounter with an old friend and colleague led to another chapter in her book of life. She was recruited to project manage high profile domestic and international special events for a broadcast television company, Genesis Networks. Some of those events have included, The Beijing, London and Vancouver Olympic Games, The Royal Wedding, The World Cup, The US Open, Wimbledon, The Oscars and The US Presidential Elections.

What’s next? She’s still “writing”! She is currently working with Scholastic Inc. as a Content Producer, creating various media content supporting a diverse list of programs. Gail has also added visual artists to her bag of tricks and is in the process of launching LRH Productions aka “Little Red Hen” Productions, a multimedia production and creative consulting company. With LRH she intends to merge all her skills and challenge herself to bring it all to another level.

“No limitations! I intend to continue to evolve, expand, educate and contribute the best I have to give and when all is said and done I hope my book of life makes for a really fantastic read!”
