Oddeline

Oddeline is a musical project based in Ottawa, Ontario. Heavily influenced by 1960s jazz-folk like Nick Drake and Fairport Convention, with a DIY attitude rooted in a love of post punk and early indie bands, Oddeline writes and records her music with a poetic flair and a meticulous attention to detail. Her second record, For the love of an empty room, will be released August 21, 2026.

Oddeline’s captivating live shows and debut record earned her recognition from Folk Canada, Carleton University's MusikOttawa showcase, Dominionated, Apt613, Neighbourhood Noise, and Live 88.5's Big Money Shot, along with opening slots for Bahamas, Blinker the Star, and Current Swell. Her songs explore themes like the tension between desire for connection and independence and the frustration of being a woman navigating a world built for men. Sonically, they range from intimate solo performances to a 4-piece rock band sound to soaring strings and vocal layers. For the love of an empty room showcases the full range of the sound Oddeline has been developing since her debut EP and takes her writing to an even more vulnerable, confessional place.

For the love of an empty room is written and produced by Oddeline and funded in part by the City of Ottawa’s Creation and Production Fund for Artists.
