Tobi Lou's Travel Essentials
The Trippin lifestyle can be one where you dip in and out of a country in a matter of days... sometimes even hours. When all you have is your passport and carry on, packing smart is packing light.
We catch up with Nigeria-born, Chicago-raised, and Los Angeles-based musician, tobi lou. After amassing hundreds of millions of streams and packing shows, tobi lou is no stranger to tour life. We catch up with him as he gives us the low down on his favourite travel essentials for hitting the road. His second full-length project and the first instalment of a 2022 trilogy, Non-Perishable.
1
Oakley Shades
"I gotta have some good eye protection when I’m going out of town incase I don’t feel like making eye contact people"
2
Oofos Slides
"I can’t wear shoes all day and I’m OCD about hotels so I always need a good pair of slides within reach."
3
Farada Headwear (Skull Cap/Hats)
"This is a must have because it not only keeps my head top covered and safe, they’re extra comfy and just look dope af."
4
Sony MDR-1A Headphones
"These are my favorite headphones of all time right now. They aren’t wireless or noise-canceling but they’re the most comfortable/best sound headphones I own and I use them whether I’m in the studio or on a trip."
5
Skin Care Tutorial Set
"This is a must have because no matter where I am in the world I have to make sure I maintain my skin care routine."
6
Macbook Pro
"I’m never just doing one thing so it’s pretty essential that I have my MacBook with me incase I need to do anything music, design, or fashion related."
7
K-94 Mask
"Y’all already know what kind of times we’re living in but I’ve actually been wearing masks when I travel since 2018. I can’t say I predicted the pandemic (even tho I did in a 2018 interview with Cinematic TV), I’m just a huge germaphobe and have always had OCD about these kind of things. I like this one specifically because it’s the most comfortable mask I’ve tired to date. So it’s easier to wear all day long."
