Odette
Born in Bath, England and raised in Eora / Sydney’s inner west, Odette grew up with her parents’ patchwork, eclectic tastes. From her mother’s love of pop and dance music driven by her Ximba ancestry, to her father’s pomme-punk, skater-boy nonsense, she grew up surrounded by music, and fell in love with its power to help the self endure difficult moments. Releasing her debut album To a Stranger in 2018, which paved the way for her groundbreaking follow up Herald in 2021, Odette has consistently carved a lane of her own with her unique blend of confessional piano-led balladry and spoken-word poetry.
Receiving immense critical acclaim and chart success, having earned a total of four ARIA Award nominations including Breakthrough Artist, Platinum Certification for ‘Lights Out’, plus three further Gold Certified singles under her belt, she has continued to captivate audiences with her charismatic stage presence and witty banter across her headline tours in Australia, UK and Europe, festival appearances including Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Yours and Owls, and support slots for the likes of Sam Smith, City and Colour, The Teskey Brothers and more.
