Issue 13

Hometown: Napier, NZ / Austin, TX

ORiAN is an artist/producer/engineer who came out to Los Angeles from Austin. Texas for our Issue 13 Media Day in late 2024. The Libra has been cooking up music for over 10 years (since high school vibes), and brings an emotional yet chilled out sound to our Issue 13 cover. Out in Austin, ORiAN runs a clothing line — 512 Apparel — and opened a music production studio / event space — @flat.leaf.

For music influences, ORiAN tells UNDRGRND Magazine he finds inspo from J Dilla, Quasimoto Mac Miller & Vince Staples, while his “dream collab” would be with Kanye West. ORiAN is a natural visual promoter & knows how to use social media to build a clear image of himself. He also drops consistently, with numerous singles and an EP — Afterthoughts & Aftermath — released in 2024.
