Growing up listening to the likes of Elton John, David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Jeff Buckley, Odell developed a strong passion for music, a passion he followed after abandoning plans to study at the University of York, instead choosing to take a place at the prestigious Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM). During his studies, he formed the band, Tom and the Tides, yet after finishing his studies at BIMM, he decided to pursue a solo career.
Attracting the attention of pop star Lily Allen, she signed Odell to In the Name Of, a subsidiary of Columbia Records. Odell soon got to work on his first recordings, releasing the EP, "Songs From Another Love" in October 2012. He made his television debut on the popular show, "Later… with Jools Holland," through which he impressed viewers and music critics alike.
His debut album, "Long Way Down," arrived in June 2013, capitalizing on media hype and achieving a number one record in the UK. The album was widely successful throughout Europe, breaking into the Top 40 in several countries.
Following the success of his debut, Odell embarked upon a national tour in the UK, helping to support his album. In 2014, Odell covered The Beatles' track, "Real Love," for John Lewis' annual Christmas advert, gaining further publicity for the artist. Upon its release as a single, the track debuted at 21 in the UK Singles Chart before rising to number seven.
Tom Odell’s youthful appearance is the first thing you notice about him, but as soon as the music starts playing and you hear his voice you forget about all of that. He’s got an amazing talent way beyond his years and a wonderfully captivating voice.
He draws inspiration from acts like Elton John, David Bowie, Radiohead, and Ben Folds, and you can catch elements from all of these artists in his music but Tom Odell’s music never comes off as derivative as he puts his own unique spin on it all. The crowd at the venue skewed heavily female, which is definitely a plus! The ladies were swooning over Tom Odell’s words the whole night and, well, to be quite honest I was too. I’m glad that my friends talked me into going because this isn’t my typical taste in music but he really won me over by the end of the first song.
The show was a great event to just chill and hang out with cool people at. And to be honest, I don’t think that categorizing Tom Odell as an indie-pop musician does him justice as his songwriting is on a higher level than you would typically associate with that genre. His lyrics struck a chord with me and I definitely get the impression that he and I would really understand each other. Highly recommended!
