For rising pop artist Tia Tia, there's no equipment that captures her voice better than the Shure SM7 microphone. "I had never heard my voice sound like that before," she recalls of the first time she used the mic, which she says complements her voice naturally, especially her rasp.

After receiving her own Shure SM7 for Christmas from her dad, Tia was able to start her own home studio setup — taking her creative process to the next level. "I felt very empowered, learning how to cut my own vocals and do it all on my own," she says. "This definitely made it possible."
