ODi is a new Irish female singer song writing talent originally from Co. Wexford now based in Leeds UK she performs regularly on both sides of the Irish Sea.
ODi was raised on a diet of music, listening to and being inspired by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, David Gray, The Frames and PJ Harvey to mention but a few. After taking in the music of such songwriters and the influences of the world around her, ODi was driven to write her own songs. The results are stunning, her songs have already been described as "beautiful" "emotional" and "well crafted". Combine these songs with a unique and captivating voice (already likened to Suzanne Vega, Natalie Merchant and Beth Orton) and a bit of Irish charm you have a very exciting prospect for the very near future and years to come.
HOT PRESS featured ODi in it`s “Headlining Act Article describing Crawl as an "Atmospheric 3 Tracker that displays ODi`s vocal talent in all it’s genuine glory".

So for just 99c or the equivalent small amount of coinage in your neck of the woods you can listen to the track till your heart is content, after all it's What You Deserve!......... (Sorry couldn't resist!)
We've also got a Dublin gig coming up at Thomas Reads on Dame Street, kicking off 9pm on Wed 27th Feb so we'll see you there (tis free in too).
Yes yes peoples!...tis true! We bagged a top 10-spot on the SongPeople Unsigned / MTV partnership comp, which ran earlier this year. The awards were judged by the general public and the final ranking will be awarded by a panel of judges from MTV, Sony BMG and EMI...oooh exciting stuff I say! ODi has also been invited to become an ambassador group for the Songpeople / MTV partnership, hmm, how lovely and regal sounding!
On the album news, well I wish I could say it’s DONE but it’s not! So instead we're almost ready to go back into the studio to work on the second single, double basses and all!...Expect a release date end of January time and a dirty great big launch party and Irish and UK tour to go with it! Phew!...Meanwhile, keep downloading the single ‘Crawl’ from iTunes, your support is highly valued! Also for peeps living in the rather pleasant area of Chapel Allerton, Leeds, you lucky lot can get your physical copies from the very cool book and fair-trade shop that is RADISH (128 Harrogate Road, Chapel Allerton, LS7 4NZ.
On the gig front, we recently had a very enjoyable night at The Writers Café in Stockton-Upon-Tees. Our host, Trev was in fine form and overwhelmed us with his superfantastic dance moves during ‘A Superman’ which was highly impressive! You can catch a glimpse of the man himself in the picture section of our myspace page (www.myspace.com/odimusic). Talking about t’internet, do get yourself and friends over to join the ODi Facebook group, to stay ahead of all new developments, last minute gigs, party invites, and promos...

Odi played a whirlwind of a gig on Wednesday the 27th of February just gone.
They were phenomenal and once again Lead singer Claire blew the crowd away with heart wrenching vocals, with Dave on Guitar and backing vocals.
