Sounds

Blurring lines between artists like Alanis Morissette, Florence Welch and Stevie Nicks with a genre-blending mix of rock, Indie, pop, soul, and blues, Fransis delivers music that hits hard, moves fast, and stays with you. She's made waves as a session singer, live performer, and writer - all while earning her stripes busking on the streets of London, leaving a lasting impression with her energetic performances whether it be a solo acoustic, with her trio or full band.

Originally from Gothenburg, Sweden, ISSA ODYSSEA is a London based singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist. Rooted in poetic lyricism, with influences of alternative R&B, lofi and indie soul sonics, her songs are layered with distinctively emotive vocal melodies, intricate songwriting and genre-bending production. Since her debut project in 2019, she’s released a high quality catalogue of songs, as well as directed and produced her own visuals, revealing her unique vision and creative capability as an artist. Over the past few years, ISSA’s been establishing her place on the live music scene; performing at iconic venues across the city whilst writing and recording new music. Calling it her favourite work to date, she’s now set to share her sophomore EP in spring (2025). 

I’m a passionate singer-songwriter based in London, with an ability to blend acoustic and rock influences - I have been told that I have distinctive "raw" vocals that play well to this style. I have been developing a catalogue of songs over the years and as an ambitious musician, I am striving to grow as an artist with bigger production and performance experiences.

Listeners have compared my style to the likes of Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, and Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty. I have had the opportunity to perform on BBC Introducing stages at festivals in the South West and have even enjoyed the surprise of being played on national Polish radio.

With a music degree and years of experience playing in local scenes across Pakistan, Plymouth, Manchester, and Birmingham, I am now exploring the vibrant music scene in London where I have been playing for exciting crowds across the city!
