OddCouple
The Milwaukee-born, Chicago-based creative talent is a multi-faceted producer, songwriter, DJ, and music director known for his blending of sounds to redefine genres and blur lines. Mixing a vibrant sonic pallet of pure gospel energy, triumphant hip hop drums, smooth r&b textures, and avant-garde electronic tones, oddCouple's music and production has created a sub-genre of its own. From big booming bass to beautifully manipulated and orchestrated backdrops, oC finds ways for his earworm-like production to catch hold in a single listen. Needless to say when you hear an oddCouple song - you know it.
Playing a defiant role in defining the sound of Chicago, oC has managed to collaborate with the city's top artists. His credits include Chance the Rapper, Jamila Woods, Noname, Mick Jenkins, Saba, Joey Purp, Elijah Blake, and Melanie Faye among several other artists from across the world. oddCouple served as executive producer for Jamila Woods' debut album, HEAVN and provided standout production on Jamila Woods' 2019 album, Legacy Legacy, one of The 200 Best 200 Albums of the 2010s (Pitchfork).
oddCouple's solo run of projects began in 2015 with the stellar, yet unstructured Chatterbox, followed by 2016's debut LP, Liberation, which Pitchfork gave a 7.2/10 review. After a long and winding road, oC returned with his 2021 psychedelic and introspective LP, Reflections, pushing the producer's boundaries even further with his signature cinematic energy and personality.
