King Orba is a prolific and versatile Songsmith, whose distinct,
soulful singing voice resonates with lyrics that are undeniably clever and thought provoking.
With a great flair for wit and sense of composition, King Orba has crafted some of the most enjoyable tunes in the independent music world. Accomplishments include registered works with BMI, AMN Awards Nominee for Best Rock Song and recently contributed works to the HOPE Campaign for Darfur Sudan, also headlining their benefit at SXSW.
Dividing his talents between music and acting, this Journeyman has kept himself extremely busy in the recording studio and in front of movie cameras in several feature films (3:10 To Yuma, The Wendell Baker Story, Infamous, Knight & Day).
He has recently teamed up with Austin based music Producer, Eldridge Goins who has produced albums for national acts such as Patrice Pike, Guy Forsythe, Carolyn Wonderland & more. The result is the new King Orba album DRESSED TO THE 9's, brilliantly produced by Goins and Mastered by Bob Ludwig.
Track 6 was originally recorded as a sample for a movie soundtrack at the request of actor/director Sir Anthony Hopkins. King Orba and Goins realized and agreed that this was the approach and feel for the material they were about to take into the studio. This collaboration produced an album of unparallel quality and taste. The songs are universal and timeless.
In addition to the new album, King Orba's first 3 Indie albums are also available on CdBaby and iTunes and other selected on-line digital stores.
