What a great event! I got into Oddisee in 2023, and he quickly worked his way into my Spotify Wrapped as my second top artist!
It was great to see him live, and I met some great people at the event too!
Very engaging event, and it was such a lit time!

Oddisee Biography
DMV rapper and record producer Oddisee realized early on that purpose and
success are self-designated. Born Amir Elkhalifa in Washington D.C. to a Sudanese
father and African American mother, and raised in Prince George’s County,
Maryland, he bore witness to stark inequity early in life and became as political as the
city he was raised in. Elkhalifa tackles the human condition with unwavering
conviction and candor, merging elements of jazz, funk, and go-go into his hip-hop
rooted production.
Instead of pursuing record deals and executives, Elkhalifa has taken the less-traveled
path. Streamlining elements of the industry early on, from single-handedly recording,
producing, and mixing his music to steering his marketing strategy and tour runs. A
string of contemporary releases—Rock Creek Park (2011), The Beauty in All (2013),
The Good Fight (2015), Alwasta (2016), and The Iceberg (2017)—headlining
performances and tours with his 5-piece band, Good Compny, and streams in the
multi-millions have propelled him to international recognition and acclaim.
