Orion has impressively achieved extraordinary feats rarely seen amongst the realm of independent artists. She consistently clocks in over 5 million monthly streams on Spotify alone out of an album cycle, managing to soar to meteoric heights during the pandemic, a time that proved difficult for many artists. Additionally, the young artist’s star has continued to rise as she opened for Daniel Caesar’s Superpowers World Tour in 2023 and she recently earned a staggering writing credit on Bryson Tiller’s explosive track ‘Whatever She Wants’ that sampled her song ‘Intro’ from her breakout Getaway EP. Earlier this year, Orion was also featured artist on the track ‘ItsNotREEAALLLLLLLL’ on Fred Again..’s new critically acclaimed album USB alongside some music’s most beloved artists such as Baby Keem, Lil Yachty, Four Tet, Future, Nia Archives, Romy, Skrillex and others.
In addition, Orion announces her new North American The Rising Sun Tour is set to kick off on October 20th in Santa Ana, CA and will wrap on November 23rd in Los Angeles, CA. The tour will see Orion bring to life the electrifying nature of Orion for the very first time. Her close friends and rising act Cruza will be opening on the entire trek. Tickets are available for purchase now HERE.
The Los Angeles-based Orion has quickly cemented herself as one of music’s essential and most groundbreaking artists today through an impressive catalog that has become recognised as both critically acclaimed and commercially successful with over 381 million streams globally. Unapologetically complex, her music defies the confines of genres that profoundly speaks to her generation with an undeniable ability to thrill. A luminous self-taught producer and songwriter, her work draws inspiration from the greats that shaped her artistry such as Billie Holiday, Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, John P. Kee Fred Hammond, Lauryn Hill, and others that remain central to her art.
Orion’s most recent body of work, the Getaway EP, housed a collection of songs that chronicled her own journey of self-discovery and healing and arrived to large global critical acclaim. It features production by Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend, HAIM), Nascent (SZA, Brent Faiyaz), and Rodaidh McDonald (Adele, Kanye West, Sampha, The xx). Her previous album, Hold Space For Me, amassed over 80 million global streams and solidified Orion as an artist to watch with her transformative, intimate art. Her expansive work has been lauded by NPR, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, Pitchfork, i-D, Fader, Billboard, BBC Radio, NYLON, KCRW, Hypebeast, COLORS, and many more. Orion is now a two-time 2021 Libera Awards Nominee for Breakthrough Artist/Release and Best R&B Record.
