Bio
SISTA 'O' (Pamela Odom) began this journey with Christ in March of 2006. God has
placed a sincere desire in her heart to minister His word Thru song. This is a
precious Gift that God has given her. Truly, her prayer is to continue to stay humble In
HIS presence.“ Without the power of God’s anointing, given by his Holy Spirit, I am
nothing ,” she explains.
Born and raised in Sacramento CA, SISTA 'O' is the first born of two girls. She's a
devoted wife of 12 years and mother of one son. Music has always been her
passion. As a child, she sang in the St. Paul Baptist Church choir. That was only the
beginning, she began to play the piano at age 7 and continued until the age of 13
when she was introduced to the violin. Some of her favorite genres include
Orchestral , Smooth Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, and of course Gospel / Inspirational
music. SISTA 'O' is inspired by artist such as; Sade, Lalah Hathaway, CeCe Winans
, Yolanda Adams, & Jill Scott. Recognizing the influence of music's ability to touch
the heart and soul of humanity, only develops her intense passion. It can influence
and encourage us in this walk of life.
A strong family background has kept her grounded in the word of God all her life. In
January 1994, she re-dedicated her life to Christ and decided to follow him with her
whole heart. As she says with conviction, "You can only live on grandma & mama’s
praise for so long!". To be an available witness for Christ is the most important thing
In her life. Instilling the importance of Christ in her son’s life is a daily prayer for her
and her husband. “ With Christ as the head of our household, our strong family unit
has power to move forward in this ministry!” she explains.
In 1998, SISTA 'O' returned to her first love of singing for the Lord with the church
choir.
In 2001 she recorded her first solo, entitled “ I Try”. This was released on Paradise
Missionary Baptist Church Choir CD entitled “Victory”. This opened up a new area for
her. She began writing songs. On the next CD released by Paradise, she
wrote/performed one song and co-wrote many other songs on the Cd entitled “Get
Up”! She has worked with Derek “DOA” Allen (Producer of music with artists Lionel
Richie, Virtue, Smokie Norful, Shirley Murdock, to name a few), and Joe Archie
(Producer of music with artists Virtue, G.M.W.A., just to name a few). Currently,
SISTA 'O' is collaborating with Michael Hart of Hot 2 Def Productions!
Her debut CD entitled “MEDITATION” is due to be released in June 2007. Under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit, she wrote and co-wrote majority of the songs on this
project. Every song is scripture based. “Once the music touches your heart, you can
go to God’s Word to meditate on what HE has for you in that song.” This is a Gospel
Album with a Neo-Soul Retro Jazz feel to it.
D’Vine Praize was formed in September 2006. Together with SISTA 'O' their vow is
to always allow themselves to be available for God’s service and with his guidance
reach the harvest (Then Saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous,
but the labourers are few; Matt 9:37) . We are nothing but empty vessels, praying
for God’s spirit to fill us up!!! D'vine Praize singers are Nashea Jackson, Jillian
Morris, Tonya Davis-Hendree, Felicia Johnson, Veronica Duncan, Catrina Blair.
Featured artists on the "MEDITATION" project are Ramsey (Y.A.) Odom, Jock Smith,
Pastor Alonzo G. Morris and Sene. This project is truly a blessing and destined to
bless souls!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!
God has really shown the group favor beyond what we could imagine. We give him all
the Glory and the honor for his blessings. Since our ministry began we have been
opening acts for John P. Kee, Byron Cage, Myron Butler & Levi and Marvin Sapp. Not
to mention the other side of ministry dealing with Breast Cancer Awareness: Susan
G. Komen Foundation and Angela's Ansir. This is our life and we feel honored to be
used by God for this!
