without an Optogate on my MD microphone , which turns off your mic automatically via infrared signal depending on your proximity . I can ’ t emphasize enough how much I can ’ t live without this ! Speaking of “ can ’ t live without ,” the Aerospace Audio Atmosphere pedal is right up there too , which I use as a drone and for transitions . Highly recommend ! For in-ear monitors , I have 64 Audio A18t ’ s and recently added Alclair Audio ’ s Electro 6s and enjoy both !
I use the Insta360 X3 and Zoom F1-LP Recorder with a splitter to my pack to film myself live so I ’ m completely mobile when it comes to capturing behind-the-scenes moments . This isn ’ t necessarily music gear , but it ’ s become an important part of my rig !
[ WM ] Do you have any gear endorsements ?
[ Jessica ] Not currently , but my DMs are open .
[ WM ] Words of encouragement or advice for other worship keys players ?
[ Jessica ] We ’ re all given gifts , but it takes obedience , which is largely manifested through discipline , to develop them . Like seeds , they can be planted within us , but for them to grow , they must be planted , watered and fertilized . Church is an awesome place to bloom . Attending , serving , learning and growing in that space is the best upbringing I could ’ ve asked for as a worship musician .
“‘ To those who use well what they are given , even more will be given , and they will have an abundance . But from those who do nothing , even what little they have will be taken away ’” ( Matthew 25:29 NLT ).
Every gift we receive comes from God , so why shouldn ’ t we turn right around and give it back to Him as worship ? The Church should be the most creative force in the world . Our ideas are God-breathed and God-inspired because we are created in the image of the ultimate Creator . I believe we give Him pleasure when we choose to bring our best and use our gifts to honor Him !
