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.

ODi has already made an impact on both sides of the Irish Sea and further a field with her debut single "Crawl" released in April 2007. Her Debut was received with great reviews, radio plays and invitations to play live sessions from the likes of Alan Raw (BBC Raw Talent) and Edel Coffey (Phantom FM Dublin) soon followed.

The single was backed by upwards of 100 live dates across Ireland and the UK, ODi joining forces with Dave Redfearn (Guitar, Harmonica and Vocals) to tour as an acoustic duo . The tireless gigging resulted in ODi being invited to support Seth Lakeman (UKs new folk star) at this years Beverley Folk festival. The huge crowds response was fantastic and one of the most significant points in the ODi story so far.

With word about ODi beginning to spread it wasn’t long before Ireland’s premier music magazine 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". Then after hearing the single and ODi play live, HOT PRESS General Manager and Irish music guru Jackie Hayden liked what he heard. After writing a great live review Hayden chose a batch of new ODi tracks as “Demo of the Fortnight” in his First Cuts column.

SO WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR ODi ?

Not one to let the grass grow underneath her feet ODi heads out on a National Irish Radio Tour this Autumn and continues her busy live schedule in both the UK and Ireland

With an ever growing a pile of great songs waiting to be recorded ODi enters the studio in late October for a session with respected Irish Producer Karl Odlum (Fionn Regan, David Kitt, the Frames, Kila). The main focus of the session is to commit New Single “What You Deserve” to record, slated for a Feb 2008 release. And then begin work on her already widely anticipated Debut Album due later in 2008.
