She has released two albums—2021’s in defense of my own happiness and 2023’s Proof of Life —both appearing on numerous best-of-the-year lists. Her newest project, Observations From a Crowded Room , marks an evolution in her career: The 15-track collection—comprised of 12 songs and 3 interludes, all written and produced entirely by Oladokun—reflects her growth as an artist and producer, blending her pop-folk roots with electronic and psychedelic elements. A proud queer Black woman and daughter of Nigerian immigrants who has graced prestigious stages like the White House for the Respect for Marriage Act signing ceremony, she has collaborated and toured with artists such as Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Jason Isbell, and Noah Kahan. ---------------------------------- About Houston Kendrick Website | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify Houston Kendrick creates music for those caught between who they are and who they're becoming.
