From a bet to a folk misfit
Odie Leigh’s musical journey has always been a bit unconventional. Beginning with a bet between friends to see who could go viral, it resulted in Leigh’s case in much more she could have ever imagined. Hailing from suburban South Louisiana, where Lil Wayne and Tim McGraw carry equal reverence, Leigh's musical influences are as contradictory as the area she grew up in. Her songwriting reflects an earnest and fervent search for identity through the confusion of growing up culturally-adjacent in an area with so much history, tradition, and faults. Leigh’s music is an eclectic glimpse into feeling stuck in all of life's in-betweens. Get ready for some heartwarming songs with a lot of classic folk, blues and country influences. Leigh’s music stands out due to her self-taught fingerpicking style and that perfect dose of imperfection typical for music that comes from the heart.
