Devon Baldwin Interview | From G-Eazy Collabs to Vocal Recovery & Frank Ocean Dreams

May 28, 2023

At BeachLife Festival 2023, Music Coast caught up with Bay Area singer-songwriter Devon Baldwin for a candid and inspiring conversation about her journey through music, recovery, and reinvention. Devon opens up about her early days writing songs on piano, her longtime friendship and creative work with G-Eazy, and how a terrifying series of lung collapses nearly ended her singing career. She shares how she relearned how to sing with the help of her vocal coach, Amber Morris, and reflects on her family’s musical roots—including her mom, a producer behind the legendary Windham Hill label. We also talk musical influences (from Alanis Morissette to Tame Impala), living with ADHD as a songwriter, and her dream collab with the one and only Frank Ocean. Whether you're a fan of Devon’s ethereal sound or discovering her for the first time, this interview is full of raw honesty and creative insight.
