Her first support show was for Steve Vai at age 15. Orianthi had the opportunity to meet and jam with Carlos Santana when she was 18. He invited Orianthi to get up and jam with him at soundcheck then later asked she would join him on stage that night. She signed with Geffen Records in late 2006 and struck a management deal with 19 entertainments.
Orianthi packs modern girl-power punch into every turn of phrase, but it’s the shredding that takes her brand of rock to an entirely new level. Songs like “Suffocated” and “Think Like A Man” are anthemia rock tracks recalling at time Evanescence, Avril Lavigne, Paramore and even a less-music row more-sunset strip Taylor Swift. First single “According To You” is a catchy tale of an ungrateful boyfriend with a killer guitar solo. The result: a thunderous, hook and riff driven debut that sounds larger than life. If, for a moment, you’ve thought the music world could use another taste of The Runaways’ Joan Jett, let us introduce you to Orianthi.
Her song ‘According To You’ from the album ‘Believe’ was the first single of the week on iTunes on 27th October 2009. It has peaked at #6 in Australia and #17 in the US, and her debut album ‘Believe’ was released throughout the last three months of 2009 worldwide. In Malaysia, it’s peaked at #2 on Hitz.fm top 20 charts. Orianthi new single called ‘Shut Up and Kiss Me’ officially hit radio airwaves on April 13th, 2010 in the US. Orianthi appeared on the American Idol results show on April 21st, 2010.
