Orianthi's Believe



I remember a skinny little kid named Orianthi who was a demon with a guitar, who didn't want to do anything but pick a six-string and sing, and who dreamed of growing up to be a rock star. I remember a growing girl who sat in the corner whispering with my daughter about how much they hated school and how embarrassing it was to have moms who wrote romances. I remember a teenager who was such a wonder with an electric guitiar that Carlos Santana invited her up on stage to do solos with him when he came to Adelaide. I remember a determined, incredibly talented young woman whose mom put her own dreams on hold to help her daughter reach for the moon and the stars.

Along the way, a lot of people said it would never happen. But today, she's in Los Angeles rather than Australia and her debut album, Believe, has just been released. Last I checked, her "According to You" was sitting at #32 on iTunes. Pretty neat, huh?

Congratulations, Orianthi! (And you, too, Sue.)

You can visit her website and watch her new music video here.

A great story for Christmas time. I guess Santa heard her wish!

Wasn't she also the touring guitarist for Michael Jackson before he died?

She plays a mean guitar for sure! Well done to her.

Charles, it's really put a smile on my face. i keep remembering all those years of people saying, "It can't happen, she's wasting her time..."

RichardS, you're right, she was the touring guitarist with Michael Jackson before he died. She has a video clip up on her site.

Steve, the amazing thing is she's a young woman who got where she is because she has talent and works hard. Her guitar playing was blowing people like Santana away when she was very young.

Orannia, it is inspiring to see a dream come true. And she's such a wonderful young woman.
