OD THE TOURIST

FILE CONTENTS

London-born and South African-raised, OD the Tourist is an R&B recording artist, songwriter and producer whose earliest exposure to the genre came through his Godmother’s house parties.

His musical DNA spans classic and contemporary R&B, neo-soul and the UK sounds shaped by R&B, with the adventurous late-90s and early-2000s production of figures such as Rodney Jerkins and Timbaland informing his approach. OD creates soulful, recognisable records through resourceful methods and cosy creative environments, pairing understated vocals and layered harmonies with an instinctive approach to production.

His 2026 credits include Eshé’s “Do Better” and Aeacus’ “Inner City,” both created at Montrave in Penge, London. His current project, Therapeutica, explores desire, communication, trust and emotional reciprocity through the framing of therapy.
