What equipment or software are you using the most?

Logic Pro, Maschine, Waves.. this is my go to set up but I want to play around with a lot more on the next projects.

Honestly just the backing tracks with me enjoying myself singing my lungs out like I’m alone in my bedroom

Who are your biggest inspirations at the moment?

Lykke Li, Flying Lotus & EMMI IIDA
