Orianthi, a distinguished guitarist, singer, and songwriter, is recognized for her significant contributions to pop rock and hard rock, having collaborated with legendary artists and achieved global recognition for her musical artistry. After her breakthrough performance as lead guitarist for Carrie Underwood at the 51st annual Grammy Awards in February 2009, Orianthi became an internationally recognized musician. This pivotal moment followed the independent release of her debut studio album, Violet Journey, in 2005, where she composed, played guitar, sang, and performed drums on most tracks, producing and mixing the album herself. Her talent caught the attention of Carlos Santana, leading to an endorsement deal with Paul Reed Smith, and she subsequently signed with Geffen Records and secured a management deal with 19 Entertainment in late 2006.
This was followed by the single ‘Attention’ on May 16, 2025, and her highly anticipated album, Some Kind of Feeling, on Woodward Avenue Records on June 17, 2025. Demonstrating her continued demand as a live performer, Orianthi was slated to rejoin Alice Cooper for his ‘Too Close for Comfort Tour’ in February 2025.
