Here is the gear I currently use:
AKAI Professional MPK Mini MK3 – I used this little keyboard with 8 drum pads (and the free MPC Beats software it came with) to create my first 2 albums
Bose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Bluetooth Headphones – I’ve used Bose headphones for years and these noise cancelling ones are amazing for mastering my projects
Blue Snowball iCE USB Microphone – Inexpensive and great quality
Distrokid Unlimited Plan – Get 7% off with this link to upload unlimited releases. I did a lot of research before deciding to release all my music via Distrokid
