"The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you"

Using his passion and knowledge, he aims to mentor, empower but most importantly educate artist on how to ultimately WIN in this industry – especially when facing challenges. “This is why I do it; I can’t see myself doing anything else. My roadblocks have been a learning experience and have helped me to be more creative and achieve my goals. Now, I want to share my experience and help my fellow artists overcome these challenges, and stay motivated while pursuing their passion in music” says JB.
Born in New Jersey and raised in Toronto, JB has been surrounded by music his entire life. He learned of the greats from his father through his vast record collection and was taught musical discipline by his mother, an accomplished opera singer.

ØDE$OUL
Øde$oul is an artist based in Toronto, Canada, is a rapper, singer, record producer, video/photographer and engineer. Born in Be'er Sheva, Israel, he was a part of B7 (Pixelbeatz, 92fly), and later a vocalist/ rapper with Hotbox, bringing sophisticated rap elements to a nu-metal group.Intent on pursuing a solo career, Øde left B7 and released two singles, "Love<3ly" and "Perfectly fine".
INSP!RATION "It all started when dad picked up the guitar and played for me for the first time. At that moment I knew what I wanted to do" says Øde. "First beat I ever made was in 2008, FLstudio 8 just came out, and any free second I had I'd explore sounds and try things, didnt even go on YouTube for tutorials, just played around with it."
Øde draws a lot of inspiration from movies, animating his beats and compositions by using alot of Foley sounds and automations, a mix of organic sounds and heavy electronic influence.
"I can't really gauge my style, I could do an edm track, and start a boom bap banger without skipping a beat."
PROCE55 Øde writes his own lyrics, mostly makes his own beats, mixes and masters his own records, and directs and sometimes shoots his own videos and photo content. "I have a very hard time communicating exactly what I want to others, so at some point I figured I'd just learn how to do it myself, and maybe get help along the way, but I can't disregard the vision."
Øde learned mixing in 2016, at a small studio in the middle of the dessert in the Negev, "Issac studio", worked in "Fringe" theater as a sound engineer, and other venues in Israel.
2017 Øde purchased a camera and began taking photos as a complete novice. Later on that year he began working as a second photo/videographer for a wedding photographer, while shooting shows and portraits for others. "Live shows really teach you about lighting, the drama."
Øde is a self taught singer. "I just tried and tried until I started getting it right." He also plays guitar, bass, drums, and a little piano.
OBJ3CTIVE Øde aims to tell a story others can relate to. "Perfectly fine" dealt with a specific dynamic in romantic relationships, "Love<3ly" dealt with the ups and downs of Øde's experience. "At the end of the day, I just wanna be me. Some of us we don't get to say what we want, or do what we want, we work jobs that don't allow us to express ourselves, and to me music is the only place where I can be me."
