The Story Behind “Clem” – A Tribute to My Father

My latest EP, Clem, holds a very special place in my heart. It’s named after my late father, Clem O’Dea, who was not only an amazing dad but also an incredible singer-songwriter.

Dad wrote 5 of the 7 songs on this EP, and I had the honour of including his final song, “We’re Heading Home.” It was recorded with the help of Apollo 10 Studio, who brought their setup to Dad so he could sing one last time. A huge thank you to Mark Donohoe for making that possible.

Every time I perform these songs, I feel his presence and strength. This EP isn’t just music — it’s a family story, a legacy, and a celebration of the love and creativity that runs through generations.
