Embarking upon a groundbreaking audio-visual journey into the unknown, Miami-based music producer, artistic visionary and space enthusiast, ODYSSEY, has arrived to take dance music into uncharted territory. Coming from a successful career in the technology and astrophysics realms, the California-born entrepreneur now responds to the calling of his other lifelong passion, electronic music. Launching a multi-faceted project and live concept, ODYSSEY is transporting electronic music to deep space and beyond.

An avid bedroom producer from a young age, Chris Knight learned to juggle his early musical experimentation with his other passion, science. Following a lesson from his grandfather on how to dismantle a television in early childhood, it sparked an insatiable desire in Chris to dissect and create; an endeavor which saw the young, self-taught engineer win countless awards at science and engineering competitions all over the country. A hugely promising talent, his interest in space and exploration finally led him to follow a career path in astrophysics, where he worked for the NASA space shuttle program. After he left NASA,  Chris conceptualized and oversaw multiple cutting-edge projects across satellite communications and technology territories, before his world was turned upside down at 23 years old in a near-fatal car accident. Hospitalized for over four months, and in and out of surgery for the next eight years, it would forever change his outlook on life.

Over a decade later, and with his unwavering penchant for electronic music culture still very much alive, Chris began to feel an urge to revisit his early musical foundations. Determined to fuse his two lifelong passions in a way that has never been seen before, he founded his ODYSSEY project. Driven by a never ending appetite to break new ground, ODYSSEY utilizes sounds personally collected from the depths of outer space – many of which pre-date the existence of not only of humankind, but also Earth itself. Using his wealth of knowledge to breathe new life into dance music, ODYSSEY looks to take listeners and audiences on an immersive voyage through music, technology and space. 

At ODYSSEY’s core is a forward-thinking sound palette and an adventurous spirit that merges both the past and the future in a truly remarkable way. His unique vision – which looks set to become a reality over the months and years to come – is nothing short of a childhood dream come true for the pioneer.  With a whole host of incredible new music on the horizon and a steadfast commitment to “break the mold” in everything that he does, ODYSSEY is determined to redefine the parameters of electronic music by transmitting music and sounds into star systems throughout the universe, leaving an ineffaceable mark on the arts and beyond for millions of years to come.
