Lili Haydn | Composer: Split At The Root / Ginny & Georgia

Grammy-winning composer, songwriter, violinist, and vocalist Lili Haydn sits down to discuss her incredibly diverse career as well as focus on her two new scores for Split At The Root and Ginny & Georgia: Season 2 (co-composed with Ben Bromfield). Lili talks about her childhood and how despite music always being part of her life, it was not always the clear career path. Lili talks about her passions in activism and why she got her degree in political science from Brown, and how that led to a career in music eventually. We discuss her solo records, being part of the Grammy-winning band Opium Moon, her work as a session musician, and her composing work. Lili talks extensively about her new score for the documentary Split At The Root (soundtrack out now from Node Records), and how the plights of these mothers seeking asylum affected her approach to the music. We also take a look at the music for the hit-series Ginny & Georgia, and how she collaborated with composer Ben Bromfield to find the tone of the show as well as write songs like the popular "Marriage Is A Dungeon". Both Split At The Root and Ginny & Georgia are streaming on Netflix. Lili's passion for music and storytelling is infused into every ounce of her being, and getting to sit down and explore her process and approach is a true joy and inspiration.
