Tiffany Majette, known professionally as Orion Sun, is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Originally from New Jersey, Majette is currently based on the West Coast.[1]

Early life

Tiffany Majette was born and raised in Mount Laurel, New Jersey,[2] in a conservative Christian home.[3] She grew up in a neighborhood named after civil rights activist, Ethel Lawrence.[4] At an early age, Majette was inspired by the music at the Bethany Baptist Church.[3] Majette began songwriting in high school and was encouraged by her choir teacher to share her music more widely.[5] Although she was accepted into Berklee College of Music, Majette was not able to attend for financial reasons.[5]

Career

In Philadelphia, Majette became involved in an underground music collective called The Forest, until the death of a member caused the collective to disband.[2]

Majette posted her first song, "Voicemail," to YouTube in 2013.[3] She released the mixtape A Collection of Fleeting Moments and Daydreams in 2017.[6] In 2018, Orion Sun released singles S T R E T C H and Nirvanaaa.[6] Her debut LP, Hold Space for Me, was released in 2020 with Mom + Pop.[6] In his review for Pitchfork, the critic Dani Blum wrote that the album was "stark [and] lightly poetic".[7]

In 2020, after being injured by police at a racial justice protest in her hometown, Majette wrote the song "Mama's Baby."[8] She raised over $18,000 from the song's sales on Bandcamp, and donated the funds to Breonna Taylor's GoFundMe and the Loveland Foundation.[9]

In 2022, Orion Sun released her debut EP, Getaway, which featured production and writing from Rostam Batmanglij, Nascent, Rodaidh McDonald and Guapdad 4000.[5] In 2023 she opened for Daniel Caesar for his Superpowers World Tour.[10] In 2024, Orion Sun release two singles "Already Gone"and "Mary Jane".[11][12] Her self-titled LP, Orion, was released on September 20, 2024, followed by her tour The Rising Sun Tour.[13][12]

Musical style and influences

Orion Sun makes music within the realms of alternative R&B and indie rock. As a songwriter, Majette explores themes of love, grief, isolation, and insecurity.[14] Her influences include Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald.[15]

Personal life
