Due to huge demand rising R&B artist Odeal – has just upgraded his headline Dublin show to The Academy, Main Room

Born in Germany and raised between Nigeria, Spain and the UK, Odeal is a versatile artist whose music stands out for its cross pollinated sounds and fusion of R&B, Alté and Afro genres. Growing up across different countries and musical cultures shaped a unique style that has established him as a pioneer in the UK’s Alté scene. His music reflects both his calm, introspective nature and his global perspective, weaving mellow R&B melodies with Afro rooted rhythms and vulnerable storytelling.

Odeal’s multi faceted background is audible in his vocal inflection and execution, shaped by the accents and traditions he has encountered along his journey. This distinctive blend has made his voice instantly recognisable and his artistry deeply resonant.

After selling out his first North American headline shows in New York, Los Angeles and Toronto in November 2024, Odeal now steps into his next chapter with The Shows That Saved Me, building on the success of his acclaimed project The Summer That Saved Me.
