BLK ODYSSY is an Austin-based artist and producer whose boundary-pushing sound blends soul, hip-hop, rock, funk,
and pop. Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, and raised in a household steeped in neo-soul, BLK began channeling his voice
through music after the unjust killing of his older brother by police at age 12. That life-altering loss and the experience of
growing up Black and male in 21st-century America fuels his raw, layered storytelling. His debut album, BLK VINTAGE
(2021), written and produced with close collaborators, served as both a celebration and a critique of Black identity in
America. It was met with critical acclaim and re-released in 2022 via Empire as BLK VINTAGE: The Reprise, featuring
Mereba, Benny the Butcher, George Clinton, and Baby Rose. The project has since amassed over 100 million streams
and positioned BLK ODYSSY as a standout voice in modern soul. His 2023 sophomore album, DIAMONDS & FREAKS,
continued his ascent, merging surrealism and social commentary with contributions from Rapsody, KIRBY, Bootsy
Collins, Cory Henry, and production from The Alchemist. NPR called BLK “a surrealist R&B auteur,” while Pitchfork
praised his ability to bend genre into a cinematic sonic experience. In 2024, following a surreal Tiny Desk performance
and festival appearances across Europe—including a headline set at North Sea Jazz Festival and Lollapalooza in
Chicago—BLK ODYSSY launched a bold new chapter, with his third studio album, 1-800 FANTASY. The first single from
the album, “WANT YOU” (co-produced by Tyler Johnson, known for his work with Harry Styles), marked a shift in tone.
That was followed by “XXX” featuring Wiz Khalifa, and “STANK ROSE” featuring Joey Bada$$. Now averaging over 1M+
weekly streams, BLK ODYSSY is unleashing his fourth project, MOOD CONTROL, a ten-track album pushing alt-R&B,
soul, and funk to new heights. 1xLP, pressed on Green, Brown & White 3 Color A Side B Side Vinyl.
