Josh and Larissa are fiery, powerful and emboldened people and I am ecstatic to be embarking on this journey with them.”

Hutch Collective's Larissa Jane Ryan and Josh Milgate celebrate new management contract with Odette over zoom.
While we still haven’t actually met in person, due to the travel restrictions currently in place, getting to know Georgia over these past few months (via many video and phone calls) and seeing her creative process come alive has made me really excited for everything that is to come; and to be a part of helping her to put her music into the world. I very much look forward to when we can finally meet in person and properly celebrate this exciting moment.”
“Georgia’s talent and passion is undeniable. We are delighted to be working with her and the incredible team at EMI and Universal Music Publishing. Odette is a bold heroine and I can’t wait for the world to get to know her better through her vivacious new music,” Said Larissa.
“It’s surreal that aside from a brief introduction at an Aria Afterparty, the entire process has been through instant messages and video calls. Even our first time watching her perform live was a virtual show! Odette is a dynamite talent and working with her so far has been a welcome highlight of my lockdown lifestyle. I look forward to our first coffee in 2021!”

(Mark Holland, EMI Australia) “Welcome aboard Hutch Collective! We already love what you do and have admired your artists from afar! As we move into the next phase with Odette, it’s great to have a newly formed bond with Larissa and Josh as part of her management team - 66.66% of which Odette hasn’t even had the chance / been able to meet in person yet due to this peculiar time with pandemics & border closures. At least we’re all very well versed in phone calls, zooms, whatsapp and text threads.”
