Orlando was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, just minutes away from Hitsville USA, also known as Motown. Being the fifth of six children, Orlando was extremely active in sports playing football, basketball and studied martial arts throughout high school. He then went on to pursue his dream of playing Semi-Pro football with the Colorado Warriors. As a hospital managed care administrator, Orlando stays busy with his Monday through Friday job; however, his passion for the arts and love for music allows him to follow his desire to be a professional singer with his band named Tunisia. One of the major milestones in Orlando’s career as lead singer for Tunisia has been performing at President Barack Obama’s Inauguration in 2009. He also performed at the Democratic & Republic Convention in 2008, as well as the Democratic and Republican Conventions in 2016.
