Career

Darian made a YouTube channel for Johnny, "JohnnyOsings" on December 5, 2011, and posted a cover of him singing "Mistletoe".

His second EP, Teenage Fever, was released on March 15, 2019. [8] [9] Orlando embarked on his second headlining North American tour in support of the EP, beginning on April 29, 2019, in Chicago and ending on May 22, 2019, in Vancouver. [10] It was supported by his close friends Hayden Summerall and Gus McMillan. [11]

It was announced that MTV had signed a deal for consumer products with Orlando at the end of July 2020. [12] On October 23, 2020, he announced his third EP, It's Never Really Over was released. [13]

In 2023, he participated in an all-star recording of Serena Ryder's single "What I Wouldn't Do", which was released as a charity single to benefit Kids Help Phone's Feel Out Loud campaign for youth mental health. [14]

Orlando has cited Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes among his primary musical inspirations. [15] He is also inspired by Billie Eilish as well as other Canadian artists such as Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara.
