It’s like the one thing I feel really great at and I feel at peace doing. Had you intended to be a musician? From the get-go? That blew my mind at the time, I remember thinking “Woah, his is the best thing that’s ever happened to me! Let’s make more music” and yeah I haven’t hit a high like that since then sooooo… hopefully we’ll get back there soon. Oh man… I got so many streams basically immediately. One of the singers on the EP, Ruby-Sofia, shared a song with someone who then somehow linked it with a YouTube influencer, and they’d put it up as background music on one of their videos. I didn’t really know how to release music back then so I just put it up on SoundCloud and yeah, people in school liked it. I think if my parents were more attentive to the making of the EP they would’ve cut in and said “what are you doing?”.īut like yeah I spent most of Year 12 working on the EP in my free periods and at home. I put it out just before my first exam, like two or three days before or something insane like that. It was my last year of high school in 2017. But yeah I changed the name to Orange Orange when I put out that first EP, and yeah it stuck, everyone really liked it. It wasn’t really like songs, it was more like instrumental electronic pieces because I didn’t know how to record my voice or instruments so I would just make it all in the computer.

I already had some music out beforehand under a different name, I think it was like 'Litwick Music' or something like that. And then I went off to another name, but after a year I thought that Orange Orange was the coolest name that I had, so then I changed it to that as my Instagram handle. I had a lot about skunks, I had a lot about Kylo Ren from Star Wars because I thought he was really good, and yeah I did Orange Orange once. I can’t really remember them, I’d have to go through my Instagram and find them, so if you wanna do that… go for it.

I had friends who did it it was the cool thing to do, and I went through quite a few names. The name came from when I was in high school and I’d just be changing my Instagram name every two months. Orange Orange – why? And have you always been Orange Orange?
