Sometimes, like the oil, will make a little, you know, pattern on the other side.
0:06
You're getting the oil off your face and you're making a, what's that called, a what's that, Rorschach?
0:11
It's like a, like a Rorschach with the oil on your face.
0:18
That's gross.
0:21
What's up, everyone?
0:21
My name is Leslie Odom Jr., and these are my essentials.
0:30
This is my trusty Bose Revolve speaker.
0:36
I travel quite a bit and it is the perfect size for a single room, be it a bathroom, bedroom, a hallway.
0:36
It's just a really powerful little personal speaker.
0:36
The sound is fantastic.
0:36
I was away on vacation recently and I didn't bring, uh, when they send me mixes to listen to stuff, I say they're my producers, my collaborators, they want me to listen to it on like very specific headphones, and I didn't bring them.
0:36
So I listened to the mixes on the Bose Revolve, and it's, it's the strangest thing, but you get the surround sound.
1:05
You really can hear the detail and you really feel like the sound wraps around you to your lantern.
1:14
Lights the way you put your tunes on and they light the way.
1:23
Oil absorbing strips.
1:26
After a long night hanging out, after a show or something like that, you know, like the sweat turns to oil and like, I just get like real shiny up around here, so these are essential.
1:36
My face gets very oily ever since I was a teenager.
1:42
These haven't been around my whole life.
1:44
I was probably in high school when these really became like so widely available and I've tried lots of different versions of these, like clean and clear, are kind of one of the most widely available ones.
1:52
So it doesn't matter where I am in the country or in the world, I can always find these.
2:00
So like there's a little sticky thing on there that helps it just, it's going to be gross when you see how much oil I have in my face.
2:07
This is my trusty Hype mic.
2:07
Before this moment that we found ourselves in, I mean, I was almost traveling to these studios and all this, you know, big equipment, very expensive equipment all over the place.
2:19
And now I do it on this, even like little casual videos if I'm doing them for social, if I'm doing them for like, you know, wishing somebody happy birthday or something like that.
2:30
This makes everything sound better.
2:31
Actually, I'm on an animated show called Central Park and we have been recording from home, and so I'm recording an actual cartoon, but I get to make it on this little mic right here.
2:46
You take it to wherever you are in the house.
2:47
It has an attachment, it'll attach to your computer or your phone.
2:50
You can plug your headphones directly into the mic.
2:53
It's a really impressive little thing.
2:55
People have been very impressed with the quality that you can get from the Hype mic, so certainly now this is an essential.
3:03
I travel with it.
3:07
All right, this one, this one's going to get me in some trouble.
3:04
This is a book of photographs by the brilliant, unique Harmony Korine for Gucci, but I've made this my journal.
3:19
I hope Harmony's not upset.
3:19
I am a guy that, that likes to journal.
3:19
I have like, I like it so much when I find a cool journal, I'll buy it even if I don't need it and just sort of like, I have, I literally have a chest of journals in my house for like what, you know, one day when I finish one, I'll grab another one.
3:19
But I've never had a journal quite like this.
3:19
The thing that's great about it is that you can open it and even if you're like searching for something to write, you can get inspiration from another artist.
3:54
I journal through projects because usually if I'm in creative process, the thoughts and the inspiration comes quickly, and so I need to have a book close by to write.
4:04
Let me do this while I was making my record, mister.
4:08
Finish the task.
4:08
Don't you dare give up.
4:12
You don't have the right.
4:12
God needs some warriors out here.
4:16
God needs some folks who are willing and courageous enough to finish what they've started, especially after he starts them.
4:25
I think inspiration comes from the divine, you know, and so when you are inspired to create something, you've got to finish it.
4:32
No matter what it takes, you have to finish the task, so I needed to hear that, and so I wrote it down.
4:41
When somebody finds your work, when another artist finds your work and like makes it personal to them, I would be flattered.
4:48
I hope Harmony is too.
4:52
It's my little journal, my cardigan.
4:56
Because I haven't had the best track record of holding on to my things.
5:00
I don't get really sentimentally attached to a lot of objects.
5:05
So I bought a sweater in my 20s from this shop on Beverly.
5:07
I don't even remember the shop, but I spent like $300 bucks on this sweater, double-breasted, hand-knit black sweater.
5:14
It went with everything.
5:16
I loved the sweater and I lost it.
5:16
I have mourned the loss of that sweater for 10 years.
5:21
So I bought this, I did the research and I bought myself this Ralph Lauren cardigan, only 10 short years later, to replace my double-breasted black hand.
5:35
That's what it.
5:35
I wanted something that was going to be durable, something that would last.
5:35
I wanted some style, it's not everybody's cup of tea, but like something that I put on, you know, you might get a couple compliments wearing it, and I wanted something unique.
5:35
So this one, I really loved the tie, I really love the waist tie.
5:35
Shawl collar, come on, it's not bad.
5:35
I wait until the first sign of a chill and like, oh, it feels like cardigan weather.
5:35
I wonder if I, oh, oh, there's my shawl collared Ralph Lauren aging sweater in the back of the closet, maybe it's time to get my sweater and a cup of hot chocolate.
5:35
These are my LGR sunglasses.
5:35
I will admit to you that I spent way too much money in my 20s on sunglasses.
6:29
The first time I ever got my hands on like a chunk of change, I went to Melrose and I bought myself some sunglasses, real sunglasses.
6:37
One day I was telling my friend who's chastising me about how much I'd spent on sunglasses, I was like, you know, but I'm a collector.
6:47
I have this collection of, some people are allowed to collect things and I collect sunglasses.
6:50
He was like, okay, great, so where's your collection?
6:53
Because I lost every single one of those glasses that I bought until these.
7:00
I've held on to these longer than I have any pair of sunglasses.
7:04
They are my favorite.
7:06
I would be really sad if I lost them.
7:08
It's a company called LGR, it's a little Italian brand.
7:12
I just love them.
7:12
I wear them when I perform sometimes because I sometimes can feel it more or find it more when my eyes are closed and these somehow make my eyes never closed, especially when I'm first starting out a show, a concert, like if I can wear these, it helps me relax a little bit.
7:33
Bevel skin care.
7:33
I've never been a skin care guy.
7:45
I've never taken terrific care of my skin, I'm ashamed to say, but I have started now.
7:45
I did a movie with Regina King in New Orleans called One Night in Miami.
7:45
Four black men are the leads of this movie, and so Bevel sent over the skin care for all of us while we were shooting the movie.
7:54
I wear a prosthetic nose in the movie.
7:56
A couple of the guys had to shave regularly and Bevel started as a shaving company specifically designed for black men and men of color because that's a tricky thing for us and then they moved on to skin care and other things and this, it's just my favorite skin care line that I've ever used.
8:16
Face wash, they have an exfoliating toner and a moisturizing face gel.
8:23
I do think it improves the look of my skin after having used it for a while.
8:27
It also feels nice to be giving a little bit of attention to a part of my body that I lean on a lot, not that I'm some, you know, supermodel or anything, but, you know, like we depend on our skin quite a bit, right?
8:44
My skin's been with me a long time.
8:48
Attention must be paid, you know, I mean, it deserves a little bit of TLC every now and again.
8:52
The company is called Saint Rita Parlour and this scent is called Rita's Car.
9:00
This is the scent that I share, much to her great annoyance, I share the scent with my wife.
9:06
She bought it, there's a little boutique that we love here called Carl's Atelier, a unisex scent, but I happen to think it's more masculine.
9:16
I would tell you about it, I would describe it to you, but I think that they do a better job.
9:20
They say notes leather, vanilla, musk, tobacco, rare coins and fresh cut foliage.
9:32
Come on, rare coins.
9:32
Nicolette keeps it on her and her side of the, on her side of the closet and every now and again when I see it, I feel, I feel good.
9:40
I just, you know, real quick, just love it.
9:49
Books, books are an essential item.
9:49
I don't travel without them, I don't go anywhere without them.
9:54
You can get lost in a great book, man, you know, somewhere waiting around instead of scrolling through your phone.
10:00
If I have a book or two in my backpack, I can get lost in a book instead of on social media or something like that.
10:05
I gravitate toward biographies, autobiographies and motivational books, you know, generally.
10:12
So this one, I brought some of my, some of my most essential books.
10:16
This one, I ripped the cover off because I'm a little embarrassed by it, you know, if I'm reading it on the train or something in New York, I don't want everybody to know that I'm reading True and False by David Mamet.
10:26
If you happen to be an actor, it is my favorite book on acting.
10:32
When I was doing Hamilton, I'd like to say Lynn's script was my Old Testament and this was my New Testament, or vice versa, but this was like definitely a part of the Bible of that performance for me.
10:49
It just simplifies the whole mystery of acting.
10:49
There's days where, you know, you just do the same scene again and again, you want to be able to reproduce your work or or or find a zone, find a pocket where you can count on a certain kind of quality in what you're doing.
11:01
Just ma'am it just makes it so simple.
11:04
Essentially like it begins and ends at the writing and if anything comes up for you, if you are inspired genuinely in any way, just don't deny that, don't block that, don't stop that, and that is your responsibility, full stop.
11:17
It's a great book.
11:17
This is my favorite poetry book.
11:20
I found this book at a book sale while I was in college.
11:27
I paid $2 whole dollars for this book and it just changed my life.
11:27
You know, it's written by my favorite poet, John Hodgen, but it's not like I know a ton of poets, you know, I just happen to like this guy and this book, especially right now in this country.
11:31
A book I think that is just essential to understanding where we are and how we got here is called We Were Eight Years in Power by Mr. Kanahasi Coach.
11:51
Essential reading list.
11:55
This is my favorite luggage that I've ever bought from a company called Away.
12:06
It has a battery for inevitably when my phone dies at the airport or the train station or whatever.
12:10
It's affordable but durable, looks smart, you know, fashionable and uh, super functional too.
12:21
Oh, the other thing I wanted to tell you, if you are packing, like get yourself a bunch of these, a bunch of these bags because it helps you section out your thing.
12:32
So you can put all your pants in here, all your shirts in here, your underwear going here.
12:38
It just organizes everything and makes everything simpler.
12:40
I've learned to be a light packer, I kind of take pride in that.
12:43
I kind of take pride in how little luggage I can travel with.
12:48
My wife and I got three of these each.
12:50
So I have this one, slightly larger, slightly larger for the big vacations, for the family vacations.
12:57
But yeah, if I can just take this and a book bag, I can get a weekend out of that.
13:00
So my luck, my luggage, my luggage system here, GQ.
13:08
That's it, my 10 essentials.
13:08
I'm Leslie Odom Jr. Thanks for letting me hang out with you and show you some of the objects I love the most.
