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, what's happening then? Well the tour is underway and going rather smashingly well! We somehow managed to get our first national radio airplay on Tony Fentons show on Today FM last Friday (we love you Tony!) and celebrated until the wee hours of 7.30am, rock 'n' roll, so will be in touch very soon asking you lovely lot to help us blag another play or two, although im not sure my liver or head could handle another!! Favourite gig so far has been at Sarsfields (Bagfull of Songs) in Drogheda and not just because we won a raffle prize of a collection of Cds (including a Metal Hammer Cd) which will keep us going on our travels in 'The Flash' (pet name for the Renault clio) but mainly for the great crowd, great atmosphere and great music which was all organised by Tom, so a big thanks goes out to him and everyone else that joined in, including Mr Gary Stewart for jumping on the drums for an impromptu accompaniment!
On the 'Superman' side of things we are bringing the digital release date in Ireland forward a week to the 08.08.08! Oooh-er! Just because we seem to enjoy making life more difficult for ourselves on a regular basis these days and also because of it's apparent lucky and magical powers, well if it's lucky in China then that's good enough for me! So, all you Superhero wannabees out there (myself included) you'll have the chance to download the Ep a week earlier than previously planned. But even better than that, gig goers can get their supermitts on a CD at the following gigs...

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.
I love this band!
