Odelet is a multi-faceted artist born in Detroit, MI, currently based on the west coast. Her unique writing style draws inspiration from every corner of music, dissolving the lines between genre. More than just a gifted singer and songwriter, Odelet is also a producer, writing and performing nearly all her own instrumentation. Her experimental music visuals have been selected for screening in more than fifty film festivals internationally and won numerous awards. This is truly a creator working without boundaries...
In 2022 Odelet and long time partner Jack "riddim" formed a production company, the goal of which would be to create a sound worthy of Odelet's otherworldly writing. They called this endeavor Everlasting Tape, a title they also gave to their documentary series which explores the art of film scoring. Since then Everlasting Tape has produced three studio albums for Odelet, with this summer marking the fourth, and fifth installments, Raindance and Raindance in Dub.
Raindance was originally written as the follow up to The Angels Album of 2022, but after a technical issue in the studio halted the final recording of the project, Odelet turned her attention to the creation of her first digital album. Raindance was then set on the shelf during the recording and release of Pisces Pie. Still flying high off of the success of Pisces Pie, Odelet and Everlasting Tape quickly turned their attention back to completing Raindance, and it was then that they found a very special addition to the team in legendary mixing/recording engineer Larry Crane. Larry's resume is impressive, including highlights like being founder/co-owner/editor of Tape Op Magazine, as well as the official archivist for the family of Elliott Smith, and founder and owner of Jackpot! Recording Studio in Portland, OR, one of the great studios of our time and the mixing room behind all of the upcoming Odelet releases. While working with Larry on the mix of Raindance, he continuously exceeded all expectations, delivering a beautifully understated mix of the album, as well as taking part in the creation of a long planned for remix series, presented in a 1970's "Dub" style, for which Larry turned out to be uniquely qualified. The resulting, now double album, Raindance, and Raindance in Dub, a full album of these remixes, comes out in July of this year. This newest material from Everlasting Tape continues to explore the hither-to unheard of genre being created by the capturing of Odelet's writing, dubbed "Surrealist R&B".
Meanwhile, Odelet's oldschool hip-hop inspired opus Pisces Pie continues to mesmerize listeners... the follow up to which is forthcoming.

The Angels Album(2022) was Odelet's first full band production and the beginning of her carving out her own unique sound. Originally captured on a 4-track cassette player as the score of Everlasting Tape Vol.1, even despite being simply recorded, the material was groundbreaking. After partnering in 2024 with mixing engineer Larry Crane for the upcoming Raindance album, it was decided that before this next release, a reprisal of its' predecessor was called for, and so began the process of making Angels (Revived). This new incarnation of The Angels Album features all new stunning vocal performances by Odelet, incredible fresco cover art by London based painter Luke Francis Haseler, and an outrageous analog mix by the mighty Larry Crane. Angels (Revived) was quietly released without pomp or ceremony in April 2025.
In the Everlasting Tape series Odelet examines the art of film scoring by creating new original music for iconic and overlooked archival footage. The response to the first installment of Everlasting Tape was amazing, and Odelet continues to create more and more of these hypnotic music visuals. Tune in every 7th and 21st of the month for the newest episode...
“‘Everlasting Tape’ serves a silent protest …Odelet’s original score accompanies some of the most formidable aesthetic movements in cinematic history … there’s a sorrowful and profound socio-cultural critique at play here … intertwined with the soulful stylings of Odelet, the sound of personal freedom.”
–Adrian Perez, Founder of the Lonely Wolf International Film Festival, London, U.K.
