ZACH HENDERSON IS ODDCOUPLE.


Over the last decade, oddCouple has supplanted himself as a staple in Chicago music. Producing for, and collaborating with artists such as Chance The Rapper, Joey Purp, Noname, Saba, to name a few — the savvy composer has created a sound as unique as his persona.

In 2016, he released his debut LP, Liberation, to an overwhelmingly positive critical and fan reception. The project was described as "a varied affair with jazz, gospel, neo-soul, trap, boom-bap, traditional R&B, and blues oscillating in energy." That same year, oddCouple served as executive producer for Jamila Woods' debut album, HEAVN — hailed as one of the “50 Best Albums of 2016” by NPR Music, and one of Rolling Stone’s “20 Best R&B Albums of 2016”. With standout production on Jamila Woods' 2019 album, Legacy Legacy, honored as one of The 200 Best 200 Albums of the 2010s by Pitchfork, the Milwaukee native’s vision turned insular to create his textured and triumphant return, Reflections.

During the creative process of Reflections, the burgeoning composer expanded into musical endeavors with several top brands and companies, including roles as Musical Director for Oprah Winfrey’s 2020 Vision Tour and her 2021 event “Your Life In Focus" event series, and Music Supervisor on Google’s 2022 Year in Search.

Equally skilled as a performer, oddCouple's live expression mixes instrumentation, vocals, and composed elements with electronic drums and DJ scratching — bringing the energy of his studio work to the stage. Headlining and playing venues from Chicago to LA, some of his most notable performances include FOX32’s “Good Day Chicago”, Mamby at The Beach, Summerfest, the 2017 MLS All-Star Game Concert, West Fest 2018, and Logan Square Arts Festival.
