Tom Odell Facts

Because his father worked as an airline pilot, Tom had lived in New Zealand for a part of his life.

Odell started writing songs when he was thirteen, but he kept this as his secret because he didn’t feel good about it.

While still studying, Tom used to take his grandmother’s car so he can travel to London to perform in the shows and to put advertisements in music schools.

He shifted to London in 2010.

Odell grew up listening to Elton John’s albums and songs. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973) is one of Elton’s first albums, Tom listened to.

Some of his other musical influences have been David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Arthur Russell, Leonard Cohen, Leon Russell, Billy Joel, Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Rodríguez, and Bruce Springsteen.

Because he didn’t want to rely on other people, he started his career as a solo artist.

He once worked as a barman.

Tom was discovered by Lily Allen, the head of In the Name Of label, who said that Odell reminded her of David Bowie. In the Name Of label has shut down now.

At the 2014 Ivor Novello Awards ceremony, Odell was named “Songwriter of the Year.”

Tom’s song Grow Old With Me was used in an episode of the TV series Reign.

Odell is a fan of Adele, Ben Folds, Beach House, Blue, Cat Power, James Blake, Radiohead, Blur, Radiohead, Coldplay, and Arcade Fire.

He has said that his lyrics are inspired by his “inability to sustain a relationship with someone for longer than six months.” He has stated, “I find that I write much better songs when I’m being honest, and writing about things that happen to me. It can get a little weird though, when friends or girlfriends work out that a song is about them. But it’s amazing what you can get away with it. Artistic license, I think they call it.”

Tom said that he gets inspiration to write lyrics by his inability to stay in a relationship for more than six months.
