Hip-Hop/Rap
A.k.a. Amir Mohamed Elkhalifa Oddisee
Amir Mohamed, son of Sudanese and American parents, was born and raised in the United States capital city of Washington DC. Growing up amidst the sounds of New York hip hop, his father playing Oud, Go-Go, and gospel, Amir took his first steps as an MC producer in the analog basement studio of his neighbor, Garry Shider (Parliament Funkadelic). Convincing his entrepreneurial father that he too had business acumen, Amir laid the check from his first commercial release on the kitchen table before his 21st birthday. Under his alias Oddisee, he has gone on to perform with The Roots, produce for Freeway, Jazzy Jeff, Little Brother, De La Soul & Nikki Jean, and has MC’d on production from Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke and Kev Brown, and formed his group The Diamond District with fellow Washingtonians X.O. and yU.
