Odessa Chen

Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist, Producer, Arranger, Engineer, & Singer.

Cinematic and spectral, Odessa Chen’s music is a journey, intimate as a long held secret. Each song, like a tiny rowboat maneuvering in the dark, transports us to the deepest part of the lake where the stars shine brightest.

Resonating with influences of Art Rock, Ethereal Wave, Americana, and Choral Music, Odessa’s songs reach from the autobiographical towards the universal. Traveling through despair towards transcendence, through stark winters to hazy summers, each haunting memory and snapshot in time speaks of the romance of heightened experiences, pivotal moments, and the rush of love. 

Odessa engineered, produced, arranged, and played most of the instruments on the album she is currently finishing. Her most forceful album to date, The Mysteries was mixed by Grammy winning producer/engineer Joe Chiccarelli (U2, Morrissey, White Stripes, Elton John, Tori Amos).
