Taking a step back to let the world fade from view is the perfect way to escape its hustle and bustle. And, true to his name, ØDYSSEE creates evocative music to give listeners blissful respite. His songs typically feature laidback drum grooves and Rhodes piano—titles like “Midnight Romance” and “Sunday Stroll” are just as evocative they sound—with even a purring cat making a fitting appearance. A true sound explorer, ØDYSSEE is also known for collaborating with kindred spirits, including Saib (“Montmartre”), Flavors (“Azul Feels”) and Ian Ewing (“Last Summer”).
