OddKidOut releases „ON MY MIND“ + Exclusive Interview

1. Hello, thank you for your time, please introduce yourself in a few words!

Thanks for having me! My artist name is OddKidOut, but my actual name is Butch. I’m 25 years old, am from Philadelphia, and I like to make music.

2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!

So yeah I just dropped a single “ON MY MIND” last week which I’m super hyped on. My upcoming single is finished and will most likely be out in a month or so. I have plans to drop a shit ton of singles and a bunch of cool videos that revolve around producing music, finger drumming and taking creative approaches to music creation. Unfortunately, no tour dates because the world is shut down 🙁

3. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!

I love all types of music, I care deeply about infusing my own sound into whatever I’m working on, I like to work with artists who are unapologetically themselves, I care more about your character than your talent, Energy is everything when making an OddKidOut record.

4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

To be honest I have no idea, but I guess anyone’s style that is just 100% them, would be the style closest to how I interpret my music.

5. Do you have bad habits? A guilty pleasure you can’t seem to quit?

I eat a lot of sour candy, like abnormal amounts of snacks, especially between midnight and 5am. Which is pretty unhealthy. Also going to bed at 7am and waking up at 1pm isn’t a great habit in the eyes of normal society, but for my creativity it’s the best.

6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?

I’m pretty damn good at video games, and I play them a lot. I’m actually ranked #71 in the world on the new Tony Hawk game that just came out.

7. Being on stage feels like….!

The best feeling in the world. Funny story, the first time I DJ’d, it was to a crowd of 2,000 people. I was so deep into the feeling that I actually lost control of my nostrils and I was dripping snot all over my CDJ’s for reasons I still don’t know why.

8. Must Have – and No-Go in your Wardrobe! – Favorite Fashion Brand and Fragrance?

I need my Fear of God Black XL hoodie and my rainbow crocs for sure. Also my Hood By Air Avalanche Boots and my YSL Biker Pants, but unfortunately I ripped the crotch on them so. I can’t give up my signature smell, it’s a proprietary blend of a few different things

9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls

I’m a super active Skimboarder. No one really asks me about it because I don’t think many people know that I do it, but I can skim all day, for as long as I can work in the studio. It’s a very close second love of mine behind making music and it always relaxes me.
