I like rock and roll t-shirts, tight jeans, and sneakers or boots. Really just laid back, sort of rock and roll. I'm a sneaker person. I don't really like to wear high heels. I'm always really paranoid when I'm on stage playing guitar that I'm going to trip over one of the cords when I'm prancing around so I have on wedges or shoes that are not too high.
OrianthiI think it is so great when artists use their voice to help other people and it is really great to be a part of the benefit.
OrianthiWhen I auditioned to be part of the "This Is It" Tour, I didn't think I was going to get in. I didn't think it was for real at first, when I got the message on MySpace from the musical director to come in and audition for him. I came in and I played for the musical director, and that night Michael Jackson came in and sat down on the couch and I played "Beat It" for him. I just practiced as much as I could to make sure it was perfect.
OrianthiIt's a guy thing, playing the guitar. Being a female and trying to go to the same auditions as the guys, it's pretty hard.
OrianthiAt school I had a really hard time being a guitar player. Itโs like being a male ballerina in a way. Itโs not the norm.
