Regis (Ovie) Oddo

Keyboards

Originally born Dec 25^th in Philadelphia, PA., Regis first obtained his musical education at 16 years of age in his father’s home land of Nigeria, West Africa. There, his hunger for success in music grew after watching music legends such as Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley. This subsequently brought him back to the United States where he continues his music career as a composer/keyboardist/producer and songwriter. His playing constitutes various styles of music, jazz, R&B, reggae, neo-soul and hip hop.

He is inspired by such jazz greats as Bob James, Dave Grusin, Don Pullen and Oscar Peterson. In his most recent years, Regis’ thirst for more musical knowledge has continued to broaden his horizons into the realm of music composition for film and television. In years to come, Regis hopes to establish a music production company which will conduct itself within and beyond the borders of the United States’ shores and maintain a gateway for artists abroad in other countries. In addition make music for film and television.
