OddHouse Is Here To Redefine Long-Term Career-Building As Artist-First Creative Management Company
India-wide release, XX January 2026: After being part of rooms where renowned artists were shaped, Sherish Shaikh has founded OddHouse, an artist-first creative management and strategy company. It extends a discerning approach to artist development with its partnership-driven model. Its focus is not to prioritise momentary attention but to shape any artist’s journey with depth, intent, and lasting impact.
OddHouse addresses one of the most fundamental issues today with contemporary music management—reducing artist management to bookings and deal closure. The company positions itself as a collaborator who works across creative strategy, business development, and cultural positioning. Its aim is to translate these aspects into a sustainable career for its artists.
Sherish’s vision, with OddHouse, emerged from the desire to build structure and bring clarity into creative careers while maintaining the originality of artists. The name itself defines its foundational principle. It is a space for artists who leave the deepest impact without fitting into existing frameworks, providing them a home where individuality is protected and not polished away.
Talking about this unique venture, Sherish Shaikh, Founder of OddHouse, said, “OddHouse came from a very honest place. After years of working inside the system with incredible artists and big avenues, I realised something was missing. Too often, artists were being managed for scale before they were supported as people. The industry prioritised speed over sustainability and output over ownership. I wanted to build a home that did the opposite. At OddHouse, our job isn’t to manufacture artists. It’s to shape what’s already real and protect it while it grows.”
The company’s roster boasts new-age artists such as genre-defying singer-songwriter and composer Mansa Jimmy, standout singer-songwriter Akanksha Sethi, multi-hyphenated talent Hyder Iqbal Dar, ace composer Shezan Shaikh, and rising producer Bluk. Working across different mediums, they share a common ethos: exceptional songwriting, striking creative choices, and a commitment to nurturing true artistic vision without falling into the trends trap.
In an industry that mistakes good management with rapid growth and visibility, OddHouse wants to grow steadily with strong intentions. The company aims to evolve with its artists and thoughtfully expand across live and brand partnerships and build original IP. All this – while staying deeply involved in the creative and strategic processes. Its focus remains on empowering artists to take creative risks and building infrastructure to foster original voices. OddHouse believes that artists deserve partnerships that protect their long-term vision and nurture their work that reflects their true identity.
