'...Odette Michell delivers a smartly crafted blend of soulful narrative set against a backdrop of haunting folk/pop rhythms'
After exchanging the piano for the guitar, at the age of fifteen, Odette began writing and recording her own songs when she was just sixteen years old. Continuing her study of music at the Nottingham Trent University, Odette went on to receive her B.A Hons in Contemporary Music. A matter of days after graduation, and spurred on by a healthy wanderlust, Odette took off for the beautiful West coast of Canada with little more than a small backpack and a spirit of adventure. With her last remaining $30 she purchased a guitar and a (childs) bicycle, and made a new home for herself in Vancouver, where she spent many happy months delving into the local music scene.
In the years since she has played solo as well as with various bands up and down the UK, including the Internationally acclaimed Cambridge Folk Festival Club stage, where she has performed for three years consecutively and been fortunate enough to share the bill with musical legends Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Jools Holland, Eddi Reader and Kathryn Williams.
COVERS GIGS
A kind of modern day troubadour, Odette also performs popular cover versions at a variety of different events, from private functions to weddings to quiet restaurant corners to corporate events! Putting her own unique spin on every song, she can make a classic tune sound refreshingly her own, whether it be played on guitar or on piano, it's always played live and with more than a splash of sophistication.
Fully self sufficient, Odette also supplies her own PA System (2 x 12 inch 350w speakers, cables and powered amp). References are also available, please just ask.
