With an innovative sound that embodies darkness and grit through lush instrumentation, OddKidOut makes music for the underdog. Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the 27-year-old multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer has spent most of his life behind a drum kit, performing in a multitude of touring bands by the young age of 13. Having eventually swapped the drum kit for a finger drum controller and Ableton while still in his formative teenage years, OddKidOut’s unique brand of live, melancholy bass music was born. The 2017 release of OddKidOut’s breakthrough OWSLA EP, Solstice, cemented him as a standout act within the electronic music scene, garnering high praise from every corner of the industry. Since then, he has left an indelible mark on dance music, with a stellar discography that spans labels such as HARD Records, Bitbird, Fool’s Gold, and Monstercat, where his single “CINEMA” earned a coveted spot as the title track for the top-rated video game, Rocket League. OddKidOut is the amalgamation of his many influences, from metal to hip-hop to ambient, who’s fusing his penchant for percussion with moody electronic flare to create a sound uniquely his own. As he steps into the limelight, OddKidOut’s mesmerizing finger-drumming, bass-infused live show continues to captivate listeners across the globe.
