Riding a fine line between playfulness and earnestness - Orion Song is in tune with all of life’s highs and lows as an artist. The San Diego-born singer-songwriter dives into a more intimate look at himself through multiple genres.
Sculpting his skills in songwriting and performance as a multi-instrumentalist since age 12, Orion drew inspiration from his back and forth travels between the beachside environments of San Diego and Oahu, in which the natural surroundings opened up his sense of mental clarity and thoughtfulness. Combining his personal experiences with his affinity for Neo-Soul and Hip-Hop & R&B artists such as Nujabes, Crush and Justin Timberlake, he linked up with up and coming producers Patrick Hizon and Avacie to cook up a breezy sound that also uplifts the spirit. Since his 2020 debut Patience, Orion has been starting to make waves as an Asian-American R&B face with his standalone single “Play Me” gaining buzz in Asia and catching cosigns from the likes of T-Pain.
Breaking down the typical machismo and bravado found in mainstream R&B music, the self proclaimed Moon Boy brings a new lense into the genre’s male archetypes with an intimate look into self-love, devotion, and ambitions amongst general introspection. — Kristian Gonzales, The Luna Collective
