Avenoir

Caleb Odidi (born 2002 or 2003), known professionally as Avenoir, is a Canadian R&B singer and songwriter born in Cape Town, South Africa , but raised primarily in Edmonton, Alberta. He first embarked on his musical career in 2022 with the release of his debut single "TMW".

Before his music career, Avenoir was in the tech field. In a Q&A with Ones To Watch, he talked about he used to be "just a back end guy", and how he doesn't "have passion for that though like I do for music". For him, his piano is essential to making music. He would later say that he is "a pianist first", and that a majority of his ideas come from his piano. He first started writing music in 2022, right after a breakup, where his hopes were that if he wrote the song "she’ll hear it and catch some feelings again", but instead the song titled "TMW" gained popularity and he became successful. On February 14, 2022, he released "TMW" — his first ever written and published song — which is said to have a "dreamy and cloudy sound" which is made through his "melodic vocals" and "classic jazzy instrumentals". He follows "TMW" with "Eve" which has a slower pace and more melodic than his previous track. His last release in 2022 was "Shameless", which was produced by YMX. This track had more of a focus on the lyrical side. His debut album, Mirage, was released in September 2025.
