Odie Leigh would never have called herself a musician before the depths of the 2020 pandemic when her rapper roomies made a bet: Whoever records a song that goes viral frst, wins - Slightly ticked off that they hadn't included her in the wager, she decided to hit them with her best shot, and Leigh was crowned the victor when a track she wrote blew up on TikTok "I was like, 'I'm gonna show y'all. I'm gonna win.'"

Four years after posting what she calls "that silly joke song" on TikTok, Odie Leigh has continued to transform and evolve as an artist -- from what she calls "acoustic, ethereal folk sad girl music" to harder-edged tunes that firt with early Aughts pop-punktivism.

Born and raised in Louisiana, Odie Leigh sang in the church choir, sure -- her grandfather built the building, after all, and her family attended three times per week. But after moving to New Orleans to study English, she fully intended on making her bones in the flm industry. That 2020 wager changed things, though, when Odie realized that she could win hearts in addition to bets.

After her releases began gaining steam on social media, Odie Leigh started hitting stages hard. She toured Europe, North America, and played Newport Folk in 2023, followed this year by gigs at Boise, ID's Treefort Music Fest with more to come.
