His father was a conductor, and his mother was a pianist. From a young age, Odinius showed a keen interest in music and began taking piano lessons at the age of six. Odinius's musical talent was evident from an early age, and he began singing in the Dresden Kreuzchor, a renowned boys' choir, at the age of ten. He continued to sing with the choir until he was 18, and during this time, he received extensive training in music theory, vocal technique, and performance. After completing his studies at the Kreuzchor, Odinius went on to study at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber in Dresden. He received his diploma in voice in 1990 and went on to study with renowned vocal coaches such as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Odinius's career as a professional singer began in 1991 when he joined the ensemble of the Staatsoper Dresden. He quickly established himself as a talented tenor, and his performances in productions such as Mozart's "The Magic Flute" and Verdi's "La Traviata" received critical acclaim. In 1994, Odinius made his debut at the Salzburg Festival, one of the most prestigious classical music festivals in the world. He performed in a production of Mozart's "Idomeneo," and his performance was widely praised by critics. Over the years, Odinius has performed in many of the world's leading opera houses, including the Royal Opera House in London, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the Paris Opera.

One of Odinius's most notable performances was in a production of Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" at the Berlin Philharmonic in 2005. His performance of the aria "Erbarme dich" was particularly praised, and it has since become one of his signature pieces. Odinius has also received numerous awards and accolades throughout his career. In 1996, he was awarded the prestigious Mozart Prize by the Mozart Foundation in Salzburg.
