Odi and The Big Band Inspire Action with New Anthem “People Stand Up”

Odi Ikpeazu — a true modern-day renaissance man — returns with his latest single “People Stand Up”, a bold and uplifting anthem delivered alongside The Big Band. Known for seamlessly blending genres and cultures, Odi draws from a rich palette of jazz, funk, rock, Afrobeat, and highlife to create a sound that is as global as his life story.

More than just a musician, Odi is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, composer, attorney, writer, and football manager — and this wide-ranging background breathes life into his music. “People Stand Up” is no exception. It’s a rallying cry for unity, resilience, and action, urging listeners to rise against injustice and indifference. The track’s infectious rhythm, layered horns, and dynamic percussion create a groove that demands attention, while Odi’s powerful vocals deliver a message that resonates deeply in today’s world.

At its core, “People Stand Up” reflects Odi’s Pan-African ideology — a belief in the strength, dignity, and interconnectedness of people across the globe. His ability to merge the soulful pulse of Afrobeat with the sophistication of jazz and the energy of rock makes this song not only musically captivating but socially charged.

As part of his broader mission to break down musical and cultural barriers, “People Stand Up” is a call to action wrapped in a genre-defying soundscape — a testament to Odi’s vision of music as both art and activism. With this release, Odi and The Big Band remind us that sometimes, the right song at the right moment can move people — not just to dance, but to stand up.
