“I have a fingerprint of the way I play – a mix of Carlos Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gary Moore – but I’m constantly evolving”: Orianthi on why she loves old gear – and recording her new Band of Gypsys-inspired supergroup with Jimi Hendrix’s producer

Orianthi stands at the mic in a still from the video for Some Kind of Feeling; she wears all white, shades and a wide-brimmed hat and is playing her white signature PRS electric.

Orianthi is busy as hell. She’s riding high after her last two records – 2020’s O and 2022’s Rock Candy – showed the world that she’s not only a great singer and performer but a titan on guitar, too. It wasn’t always that way, though, not that people knew any better.

Had the music industry had its way, Orianthi – who had a massive pop hit with her 2009 single According To You – would have been chewed up and spat out. But that’s not how it went down. And the best part is that now it’s Ori’s way or the highway.
