ODEAL Photoshoot for F WORD Magazine

With over 400,000 monthly Spotify listeners, a string of guest appearances from some of the biggest names in UK rap and a sold-out live show, Odeal is the London-based artist does not disappoint. Sonically Odeal’s music appeals to many, by fusing R&B with Afrobeats – an idea that he explains to have birthed from a desire to bridge the gap. Growing up his childhood was spread across the UK, Germany, and Spain and was surrounded by an array of music. However, his journey began after a summer spent in Nigeria and his dad found a local studio which provided the opportunity to not only be in an environment where music was being created but also trial his own sounds - this is when he decided he wanted to pursue music. Following the release of his recent EP – OVMBR: Maybe I’m Best Alone (MIBA), Bernice sat down with Odeal a day before his shoot to discuss all things music, fashion, and his plans to bring his supporters into his world.
