Words that are usually expressed by motivational speakers, counselors, and the likes are now introduced to you through ORION⢠âThe Rhythmatic Wordâ (Pronounced Oh-Ri-On). ORION has skillfully woven morality and musicianship throughout his music. His message has demanded the ears of every listener who has come in contact with it. The music has been described as an effortless conglomeration of neo soul, R&B, Jazz, Funk and Hip Hop. He has been likened to the lyrical expertise of Jay-z, the musical vibes of the Staple Singers, and the soulful vocals of Bill Withers. The likeness that would best prepare you for his style is a male version of Lauryn Hill. However, ORION has found it difficult to fit into any one genre and as a result he has created his own. "THE RHYTHMATIC WORD is (if asked) how he would describe what he does. âThe music I create is for everyone. No one race, creed, or color is excluded when I write. Music is a universal language and in my opinion should contain words of Hope, Truth and Love, which we ALL need and can relate to. Hence, I label the music "THE RHYTHMATIC WORD"-Rhythm & Hopeâ¦Rhythm & Truthâ¦Rhythm & Love... not just Rhythm and Bluesâ In addition to his speaking and writing abilities, ORION is a true musician. His instruments of choice are the Trumpet and French horn. He composes, arranges and produces all of his own music which he then transcribes into sheet music so that he can be accompanied by electronics or live band when necessary. It definitely doesnât take any length of time to be impressed with this young man, his abilities have taken him to Liberia, West Africa where a recording label by the name of Hathorâs Recordings International has made him their marquee artist.
