ODi is a new Irish female, singer songwriting talent originally from Ireland now based in Leeds UK she performs regularly on both sides of the Irish Sea.
ODi spent her early years in Wexford and Dublin 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 Dublin College scene which produced the likes of Damien rice and Bell X1, ODi was driven to write her own songs. These 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 and beauty 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 in 2007, The tireless gigging resulted in ODi being invited to support Seth Lakeman (UKs nu 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.
