Today we’d like to introduce you to Lucinda Odette.
Hi Lucinda, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been singing since I was a kid, like full-blown putting on shows in the living room level. I started singing lessons when I was 9, got into songwriting a few years later, and just never stopped. It’s always been the one thing that felt like mine, you know?
I moved from Australia to LA a few years ago to chase music properly, and let’s just say… it wasn’t all sunshine and success right away. I definitely ran into the wrong people at first, people who talked big but didn’t deliver, and I had to learn a lot the hard way. But those experiences made me tougher, and they honestly helped me figure out who I am, what I want to say, and the kind of artist I wanna be.
Now I’ve got an amazing team, I’m performing, writing, and creating stuff I’m actually proud of. I finally feel like I’m in the right place with the right people and I’m just getting started.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Definitely not a smooth road, but honestly, I don’t think I’d want it to be. I moved to LA knowing no one. Like, fully started from scratch. I was living here completely alone, figuring it out as I went. I had my first real heartbreak out here too, and going through something like that without family or old friends around, it hit hard.
On top of that, I trusted the wrong people early on. There were a lot of big promises that led nowhere, and I had to learn to protect my energy and stop giving so much of myself to people who didn’t deserve it. I had moments where I seriously questioned everything, but I always came back to the fact that music is what I’m meant to do.
Now I’ve found my circle, I know myself way more, and I’m honestly proud of the resilience I’ve built. I’m still growing, still learning, but I’m not that girl who moved here wide-eyed and unsure anymore, I’ve got fire now.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a singer-songwriter and performer, but more than anything, I’m a storyteller. I write about things I’ve actually lived through, heartbreak, self-doubt, betrayal, loneliness, and I try to turn those experiences into something that makes people feel seen. I’ve always believed that music can say the things we’re too scared to admit out loud, and that’s what I try to do with every song I write.
I’m probably most proud of the fact that I didn’t give up. There were times I was totally overwhelmed, but I kept showing up for myself and my craft. I’m still figuring things out like everyone else, but I think what sets me apart is that I’m not afraid to be vulnerable. I don’t pretend to have it all together. I just try to be real, and hope it resonates.
I think people can feel when something’s real. And my music? It’s real. It’s all me.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
I definitely think luck has played a role in my journey, but more in the form of the amazing people I’ve crossed paths with. I feel really lucky to have such a strong support system. My family, especially my parents, have backed me from day one. No matter what I’m chasing or where I am in the world, they’re always in my corner.
I’m also incredibly grateful to be working with someone like Laurieann Gibson. Having her in my team has been a game-changer. She believes in me, challenges me, and brings out sides of me I didn’t even know I had. I think luck is real, but it’s what you do with it, and who you have around you, that really shapes the journey.
