About
Composer/Vocalist/Visual Artist
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 a producer, writing and performing nearly all her own instrumentation. Recently, she also began making an experimental form of music visuals that have been selected for screening in more than fifty film festivals internationally and won numerous awards. This is truly a creator working without boundaries...
Following the successful unveiling of The Angels Album, this spring will mark the release of the second project from Odelet and Everlasting Tape, a production company founded by the singer. If their last record was a testament to Odelet's life long love affair with Soul music and R&B, this new album, titled Pisces Pie, is her ode to classic Hip-Hop production, and to siren singers...
"When it comes to my vocals, I just hear what I hear... something about it can feel like Jazz... but in terms of production,
this album was definitely inspired by my love of old school Hip-Hop." - Odelet

The Everlasting Tape Film Series
Being a visual artist as well as a composer, Odelet took the task of creating music videos very seriously, “I was determined to create something that, rather than distracting from the music, actually focused attention on it and allowed for a deeper listening. I sort of think of the film as dreamscaping...” The film she’s referring to is Everlasting Tape Vol.1, a series of song-length vignettes compiled into a short film, named after the singers production company. The response to this work has been overwhelming, and she is currently working on the second installment.
“‘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.
