I've been addicted to music ever since I can remember. I love writing compositions and songs and trying to express a mood or a feeling in musical terms.
I have just released an EP of piano instrumentals called 'In Conversation'. It is now available for sale on Amie St in the US @ http://amiestreet.com/music/odette-beris/in-conversation. Soon to be released via other music distributors. Hope you enjoy!
All the songs and demos that you hear on this page are written by me. I am currently working on my debut album which I hope to release sometime early next year.
Earlier this year, I released my 1st acoustic EP 'Waltz for You' which is available for download on itunes. It features Guy Traviss on guitar with myself on vocals and piano. You can download from itunes by clicking here:
In the meantime, thanks for listening and for all the feedback - keep it coming! Love and peace or what you will.

Hi Odette, Really enjoyed listening to your music, a haunting sound that draws me in to the words. "water for Ice" and "Meet me in the summertime", i particularly enjoyed.
I too love to compose and play when i can, these day's i am more tied up with Management and Recording for others... not much time left for Me...
Very best wishes for the future, and i will drop by from time to time.
Hi Odette, I love these new QLNE mixes, they're excellent. My favourite has to be the new 'sitting & talking' mix, its such an eclectic mix, brilliant. Also 'Slide Away' is just beautiful.
Good work Odette. I really like " Slide Away " Bring the smile on my face;)) And I like the videos too!! Thank you again Odette for you friendship and I haven't give it up yet!!!! And I am sorry;) Have a nice day. allways a plasire to listen t you songs Denis.x
''Slide Away''- Terrific! You have broaden up your musical image...(you are doing it every time you release a new song!) Hope you are enjoying in arranging & making new songs. Cheers
Love the collaboration with Andy (QLNE).... He has a very "off the wall" approach which I love and seems to suit your work superbly.... Maybe do some more??....
Hi Odette, Thanks for checking me out! As I said way earlier we've recorded complete material, only I stopped a little bit with posting new tunes. I had the problems in mastering it and transforming in mp3 format. Sounded rather poor in quality. I hope to take care of it soon. Although it is obvious that I will be producing some of the stuff again and finally I am working on finding the best possible option for copying the CDs in full edition. Well we'll see. As you said time is passing by so quickly, almost December. Flying and running at the same time :-) How are your plans going on releasing new material? And will you held a concert in the near future? Hope you had a good weekend, and let the start of the new week be easy on you and enjoyable
