ODILLIA

Dutch-born/Los Angeles-based Odillia is a gifted singer and dancer known for hooky, hip-hop-influenced pop and dance music. She came to the public's attention with her 2019 song "End of the World."

Born Frederique Odillia Henriette Hochstenbag in 1996 in Maastricht, the Netherlands, Odillia became interested in performing as a child and initially started taking ballet lessons at age six. Early on, her teacher suggested that her high-energy personality would be better suited to more modern styles of dance and Odillia quickly embraced hip-hop. As she excelled, she earned ever more opportunities and eventually competed as a member of the No Escape XXL dance troupe on Holland's Got Talent, where they finished in second place. Along with dance, Odillia also harbored a passion for singing and rapping, influenced by artists like <a href="spotify:artist:3fMbdgg4jU18AjLCKBhRSm">Michael Jackson</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5tth2a3v0sWwV1C7bApBdX">Lil' Kim</a>, Biggie Smalls, <a href="spotify:artist:1G9G7WwrXka3Z1r7aIDjI7">OutKast</a>, and others. By her teens, she was writing her own lyrics and eventually moved from Amsterdam to Los Angeles to pursue her music career. In November 2019, she released the dance-oriented track "End of the World" with Gindaroca. A remix of the song featuring <a href="spotify:artist:3uJx5SnOM59Li7lCxA3b29">Lil Keed</a> arrived in January 2020. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
