Tiffany Majette, known professionally as Orion Sun, is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based in Philadelphia.
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]
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 2017.[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]
Majette was kicked out of her home due to her sexuality. She later settled in Philadelphia.[1] Majette identifies as a queer black woman and is in a relationship with fellow musician Zubeyda Muzeyyen, who performs as DJ Haram.[1]
