Bullying, living in a disfunctional household and his declining eyesight have made MC Orin’s life a bit harder than usual. Music has always been a part of his life and could bring him solace and inner peace. However, as his eyesight declined, he had more trouble expressing his feelings due to technical issues regarding digital music production. This couldn’t hinder him from still finding a way to express himself in one of his most beloved genres of music, Hip Hop! Although MC Orin’s music can differ from his troubled mood, he has always enjoyed the style of 90s records, where the drums hit hard and the vocals shine bright with dusty confidence. Trap also was a big inspiration for his musical soundscape. The intricate hi-hat patterns and hard-hitting 808s sparked his interest, because as a drummer the beat always was most important to him.
In 2024 MC Orin released his first song in his native tongue. A few more singles later Orin finally got the confidence to create an English song. Kick Back was a milestone in his musical journey, because Swiss music never interested him enough to pursue this specific path further.
As time goes on, MC Orin will create more songs to express his complex feelings. Feelings of himself, society and the world in general, because for him music isn’t just listening to a product on a major radio station, for him music should be treated like an antique painting. In his eyes the modern world is slowly losing contact with real art due to technology, but he will never give up on music. He will march on this path with a cane in one and a mic in the other hand. And of course his trusty baritone ukulele will be strapped on his back, because it’s always nice to have an instrument to use at a campfire.
