  Odell Palacio is an intelligent, goal oriented entrepreneur and musician with a “more action, less talk” approach.  As a child Odell has always stood out from amongst the crowd.  Born in Panama and raised in Ann Arbor, MI, Odell had to learn to balance these two realities and influences in regards to culture and attitudes and in turn this balance molded his character.

  While in college, Odell Palacio worked as an intern at Universal Music Group for Island Def Jam and later worked as Atlantic Records’ Urban Market College Rep in the Detroit market.

 Introduced to FrontStreet by Thirty, Odell and President/CEO Dave Kelly became close very quickly based on many similarities; Dave worked in Panama and they both shared a love for music and the music BUSINESS.  Odell joined FSR as a marketing rep and instantly started landing spots on major websites, including Hypebeast/Hypetrak, DJBooth.net and DRExclusives.com to name a few.

  Dave Kelly noticed Odell’s commitment to the vision and understanding of the dream and called Odell one night.  “I found my new Vice President” when Odell asked “who?” Dave Kelly responded “you!”.  Committed to making history alongside Dave Kelly and Thirty, Odell is painting with his mind the colors of success!

  Odell Palacio is a graduate of Eastern Michigan University where he majored in communications and has a Bachelor’s of Arts degree.
