ODi

ODi is an Irish female singer songwriter originally from Co. Wexford in the south east of Ireland.

She was raised on a diet of music, listening to and being inspired by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, David Gray, The Frames, PJ Harvey and Radiohead to mention but a few. After taking in the music of such songwriters and the influences of the world around her, ODi set to writing her first batch of songs. The results are stunning, her songs have already been describedas "beautiful" "emotional" "exciting" and "well crafted". Combine these songs with her captivating and outstanding voice and a bit of Irish charm you have a very exciting prospect for the very near future and years to come.

ODi has already made an impact in Ireland and further a field with her debut single "Crawl" realeased in April 2007, She toured Ireland twice in April/May promoting the single playing upwards of 20 gigs around the country including an appearence at the Ruby Sessions Dublin.

The single Crawl was picked up by many radio stations and as a result ODi played live sessions on Edel Coffee`s Phantom FM show and Rob O`connor`s Irish Beats show on Beat FM amongst others.

The tours ended in Hot Press choosing ODi to be featured in their "Headlining act "article, describing Crawl as an "Atmospheric 3 Tracker that displays ODi`s vocal talent in all it`s genuine glory"

ODi has also been making waves in the UK too with constant gigging endingin a support to Seth Lakeman (UKs new folk star) at this years Beverley Folk festival. The huge crowds response was fantastic and the most significant point in the ODi story so far!

So where does ODi go from here? With a pile of great songs waiting to be recorded she enters the studio this summer for a session with respected Irish Producer Karl Odlum. She returns to reland in August for as HOT PRESS gig at the Wexford Arts centre..... The story has just begun!

Reviews so far.................

"Ballsy folk from Leeds with a Damien Rice intensity and lilting female vocals, that can without warning spin off into PJ Harvey grungy rock. See brilliant single 'Crawl'........" Northern Monkie Promotions
