This year for my birthday, my family gave me a gift that means more than just gear — they gave me the tools to step into a dream I’ve held close for a long time. I’ve always loved singing and creating music, and now, with this home recording setup, I finally have the space and equipment to begin recording from home.

After doing some research and testing, we found a setup that felt simple, high-quality, and just right for where I’m starting. In this post, I’m sharing a look at each piece of gear and why we chose it — plus what I’m hoping this new little home studio will grow into. Whether you’re a fellow creative or just cheering me on, I’m so glad you’re here for this beginning.
