Canadian-Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer ODIE has built a distinctive career at the crossroads of alternative R&B, hip-hop, soul, and Nigerian music. Born in Montreal and raised in Toronto before moving to the Bay Area at 12, he grew up surrounded by the highlife, jùjú, and Afrobeat records played by his Nigerian parents, alongside influences such as Kid Cudi, Frank Ocean, and Fela Kuti. After developing his music independently and co-founding the collective and label Unité Recordings, ODIE began attracting attention through SoundCloud before releasing his debut album Analogue in 2018. Recorded largely in his bedroom, the project introduced his soft, ethereal vocals and introspective songwriting, with Little Lies and North Face becoming two of his signature tracks. Since then, ODIE has continued to explore a deliberately hard-to-classify sound through releases including Miss Summer, Go Boy, and the 2024 EP N.F.A. DEMOS.
