Oddity
With vocals as smooth as aged whiskey, and a warm and lush compositional style inspired by the likes of Strayhorn, Evans and Jobim, Oddity follows in the long-standing tradition of queer jazz expression, all while blending in modern elements of hip-hop and neo-soul.
Oddity’s music is a reflection of her Sagittarius spirit: spontaneous, improvisational, and passionate. As a transfeminine Chinese-American, she manifests a certain yin-yang quality to her sound, embracing the duality of hope and despair, rage and tenderness, revenge and forgiveness.
In her debut album series “The Oddisea”, Oddity explores this messy yet alchemical process of transition: of having to reinvent oneself, of having to let old selves die in order for new selves to be born. Oddity’s story is one of navigating the smoke and mirrors of false salvation, looking deeply into the abyss of the unknown, and ultimately emerging with a radical self-love and an unrelenting drive to answer the all-important question: what work is there to be done?
