The son of Sudanese and American parents, Amir Mohamed, aka Oddisee, grew up amidst the sounds of New York hip-hop and took his first steps as an MC and producer is the analogue basement studio of his legendary neighbour Garry Shider (of Parliament Funkadelic).
Years later, Oddisee has gone on to perform with The Roots, Jazzy Jeff, De La Soul and more, also forming his critically acclaimed group The Diamond District with NY musicians X.O. and yU.
Oddisee’s latest album People Hear What They See, released in 2012, saw him collaborate with vocalist and guitarist Olivier Daysoul, who will join the rapper on-stage as part of a just-announced Australian tour that will see him performing seven dates.
