Darien Orr - In The Making (2020)

Darien Orr is a saxophonist from the Chicagoland area currently performing in Las Vegas. Darien’s interest in music was clear from a very young age, as he has shared his musical talent since 10 years old. In addition to playing saxophone, Darien performs as a keyboardist, drummer and an occasional vocalist. Darien grew up in South Holland, IL where he attended Thornwood High School. While in high school, he began to develop a strong love for music and performing, especially alongside his friends. This atmosphere provided the building blocks for not only himself, but many of his other friends who have been successful in the music business. After completing high school, Darien attended Southern Illinois University Edwardsville where he studied Music Education. With his degree he became an elementary school music teacher (2013 - 2017) and currently serves as a middle school band director.

Darien’s musical styles span across many different musical genres. Although he is classically trained on the saxophone, Darien fuses gospel, r&b, jazz, hip-hop, and many other genres to create his original works. Darien has just begun sharing his original music with the world. His first self produced EP, Inspired, was released in June 2019. This EP was inspired by his late brother and cover art photographer, Thomas Orr, who lost his life tragically in 2017.
