Hailing from North Carolina, L’Orange is a hip-hop producer, musician and writer. His influences include late legends like J Dilla and pioneering jazz vocalist Billie Holiday. Producers Kon Sci, Oddisee and Kev Brown have also heavilyshaped L’Orange’s style as a beatmaker and producer. Dedicated to originality, L’Orange imbues his smoky, soul-soaked tracks with lush texture through inventive mixing and psychedelic cuts from classic radio recordings.

A shopworn MPC and vintage vinyl are essentially paintbrush and palette for L’Orange. He finds his signature samples from pre 1950’s jazz, soul and radio. He stitches together a sound that acknowledges his penchant for classic film noir and shadowy motifs. L’Orange albums are often cinematic and narrative in structure, exemplifying the artist’s highly conceptual creative process
