BLK ODYSSY biography

The BLK VINTAGE project is pushed by liberation. On his first album under this new moniker, titled "BLK ODYSSY", Houston―born and raised in Plainfield, NJ, based in Austin, TX― dives into his personal history as a Black musician and the world he’s grown up around. It’s an album deeply informed by individual experiences but applied to the plight of Black Americans everywhere. Even when the album chooses smooth vibes and laid back lyrics in favor of overt activism, there’s a philosophical bent that inspires Houston’s work. BLK ODYSSY is inspired by a few key moments and artists. There’s the death of Houston’s brother, who was killed at the hands of police officers while Houston was living in New Jersey. It’s the seminal moment of Houston’s life, the moment he was forced to become an adult and reckon with the harsh reality of being Black in America. It fuels everything he does, especially his activism.

    What's interesting in London?

    For those who have never been to London, the capital of Britain is associated with fog, Big Ben, and of course guards in bear caps. Yes, it is in London, as well as Kensington’s Victorian charm, the ever-singing Picadilly and Carnaby, Sherlock Holmes’s apartment and the oldest subway in the world.
