Orie, short for original, is a Chicago hip-hop recording artist and producer hailing from St. Louis. “As an out of towner, it has always been a challenge to stay true to who I am as an artist, without giving into the mainstream appeal,” says Orie. At 21 years old, Orie, often called “Orie the Producer,” is determined to become the next great entertainer to represent Generation Y in a positive way.
“Good to see a young man doing something positive and not calling women the B-word or talking about killing everybody,” are the words from Tosha Keylo, a fan, on a blog post at DJBooth.net, a renowned hip-hop music destination. Inspiring words such as those from fans are what motivate Orie to stay true to his fan base as an artist.
