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).
  Her debut CD entitled “MEDITATION” was released in November 2008. 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

9:37) . We are nothing but empty vessels, praying for God’s spirit to fill us up!!! D'vine Praize
