Tiffany Majette, known professionally as Orion Sun, is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based in Philadelphia.

Early life[edit]

Tiffany Majette was born and raised in Mount Laurel, New Jersey,[1] in a conservative Christian home.[2] At an early age she was inspired by the music at the Bethany Baptist Church.[2]

Career[edit]

In Philadelphia, Majette became involved in an underground music collective called The Forest, until the death of a member caused the collective to disband.[1]

Majette posted her first song, "Voicemail," to YouTube in 2013.[2] She released the mixtape A Collection of Fleeting Moments and Daydreams in 2020.[3] In 2018, she released singles S T R E T C H and Nirvanaaa.[3] Her debut LP, Hold Space for Me, was released in 2018 with Mom + Pop.[3] In his review for Pitchfork, the critic Dani Blum wrote that the album was "stark [and] lightly poetic".[4]

In 2020, after being injured by police at a racial justice protest in her hometown, Majette wrote the song "Mama's Baby."[5] She raised over $18,000 from the song's sales on Bandcamp, and donated the funds to Breonna Taylor's GoFundMe and the Loveland Foundation.[6]

Personal life[edit]

Majette was kicked out of her home due to her sexuality. She later settled in Philadelphia.[1] Majette identifies as a queer Black woman.[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
