This Is My World - All Made Up - Allee Futterer

What does it mean to truly follow your creative instincts? In the first episode of our new series, "This is My World", we step into the life and creative process of musician, producer, and touring bassist Allee Futterer, better known as All Made Up. When she’s not crafting her own music, Allee is taking the stage as a bass player for artists like Chappell Roan and Weyes Blood, bringing her creativity and energy to audiences everywhere.

Allee describes her creative process as "chaotic—kind of organized chaos." Inspiration doesn’t always come easily, but for Allee, walking away from a song often brings clarity: "If I can’t figure out what happens next, I just walk away. Eventually, it’ll hit me." 

Her approach to making music is deeply intuitive. She sees every song as part of a cycle: "There’s a cycle to every creative process." For Allee, that means embracing imperfection rather than overcorrecting. "I’m starting to really enjoy the imperfections in things," she says. It’s not about following rules but about following your own North Star: "If everybody followed their North Star, you’d see more of that individualism." 

Allee was immediately drawn to the ethos behind Ohma microphones : "When I first found out you guys were making microphones, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. There’s not a lot of individuals making things outside of the box." 

She appreciates the flexibility and the aesthetic that Ohma mics bring to her creative space: "Even just the shape and aesthetic is so different than what a microphone should look like." 

Her choice of a blue mic wasn’t just practical—it was deeply personal. "Most of my instruments are blue or pink, and I wanted to keep the theme up. My creative space is filled with little curio cabinet pieces of me that are like emotional support blankets." 

This episode offers an intimate look into how Allee approaches her music, her workspace, and her identity as an artist. Whether she’s finding inspiration while driving, crafting a sound from scratch, or embracing the imperfections in a late-night vocal take, Allee reminds us that creativity is as much about the process as the result.

"This is My World" takes you inside the spaces of musicians we respect to uncover their creative processes and inspirations. Each episode offers a personal look at how they see the world and bring their music to life.
