Odesza on the Future of EDM, Why Music Should Be Free

In 2012, Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight were just two twentysomething undergrads, helplessly barreling toward graduation day with a mix of anxiety and reluctance. In an attempt to make the most of their remaining time at Western Washington University, the two Seattle natives began spending their free time producing intricate soundscapes under the moniker Odesza. At first it was a hobby, with no grand career aspirations attached. Mills viewed the project as an opportunity to beef up his graphic-design portfolio with band logos and album artwork. Knight welcomed it as a reprieve from his demanding schedule of physics classes. Neither could anticipate that their homebrewed EDM would resonate on a global scale, garnering them more fans and fame than they know what to do with.
