Deiy Leone and Jordan Kalé met through a mutual musician friend, Zyah Belle. They formed a group/artist collective entitled “RedCupLeague.” The group later disbanded after creative differences with an indie label. Deiy and Jordan were the two left standing. They decided to continue their musical journey together. The two eventually became Ode To Saturday.
Tell us about your best gig in Sac.

We performed at a Fashion Show thrown by Nia Joe at Sol Collective in 2015. That was our best show because it was the first time we ever performed with a band as Ode To Saturday. Sol Collective is one of our favorite places to perform because it is very intimate, yet you feel as if you are rocking a stadium. The vibe was crazy. A man who brought a staff with him was taken by the spirit of Saturday dancing all over the room. Both of our families were in the audience cheering us on, and some of our great friends were in our band.
