Folk Bands and Artists
ODIA
Born during lockdown, Odia started as an online adventure by Stuart looking to collaborate with like minded musicians but also pursue new musical flavours from around the globe. Stuart describes hearing Perrine and Faliq for the first time online and knowing instantly they had the groove and right amount of swag as well as years of experience in jazz, classical and folk styles. What was supposed to be one tune as an experiment to see if this was possible turned into a 4 track debut EP entitled, Home. This meaning is a representation of your connection to Home, essentially as long as we have music then home can be anywhere and not just one single place. Thanks to the enthusiasm Faliq and Perrine brought to the table along side encouragement from musical peers, friends and family the EP was self recorded and released in December 2020.
