hostNote
**David Baron** produces and writes with Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey, Lenny Kravitz, The Lumineers, Shawn Mendes, and Matt Maeson, among others. **Ginger Winn** is the singer-songwriter he made **Stop Motion** with, released June 2024. This conversation is about that album and how the two of them actually worked together. We get into what balancing preparation with spontaneity looks like in the room, and where Ginger's South Carolina upbringing shows up in her songwriting. David talks about the artists he sees early in their careers, "pretty green," still figuring it out, and what changes with training and time; Ginger talks about pulling songs out of personal struggle rather than around it. The conversation closes on why they both keep doing this at all: a ukulele from a father decades ago, the sense that a life without music was never really an option, and the shared belief that music carries you through the hard stretches as much as it does the good ones.

    It's so rare for me to have multiple people at the same time so I'm really excited about that... I love that that's how this industry and just music in general tends to work, isn't it?

    When I see them in the studio usually when they're doing their first record they're pretty green and there's a lot that needs to be ironed out... that's just training.
