Odesza finds stardom with EDM for people who think they don鈥檛 like EDM
From its humble beginning in 2012 as a collaboration between college students Harrison Mills (CatacombKid) and Clayton Knight (BeachesBeaches), Odesza has become one of the biggest draws in electronic dance music (EDM). Known more for indelible pop songs such as 鈥淪ay My Name,鈥 鈥淗ow Did I Get Here,鈥 鈥淪un Models,鈥 and 鈥淚t鈥檚 Only鈥 than for bone-rattling dance-fest pyrotechnics, the duo now has two best-selling albums to its credit (2012鈥檚 鈥淪ummer鈥檚 Gone鈥 and 2014鈥檚 鈥淚n Return鈥).
A consistent bestseller on the road, Odesza has become a familiar presence at destination events like Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. Speaking by telephone from his home in Seattle during a brief break before a headlining spot at Boston Calling, Mills spoke about Odesza鈥檚 rapid ascent.
