BIO

Introducing Caitlyn O'Brien (she/her/hers), a Cambridge-based singer-songwriter, musician, producer, and DJ. Caitlyn became dedicated to her exploration of music and musical community starting with studying classical voice at a young age, and later, getting involved in her local music community performing in original projects, bands and studio sessions.

Caitlyn began writing and producing her own music under the name Kit Orion and released her first EP in 2021.

The majority of the songs from her self-titled EP and debut record Bottle Grin, released in October of 2024, were written as responses to personal loss and exploration of self, through prompts given in a songwriting club led by dear friend and collaborator, Jessica Kion (Justice Cow).

The creation of the album Bottle Grin strived to sonically collage her self-produced bedroom soundscapes to the live musical contributions of friends and collaborators in the studio.

"Orion deftly harnessed the power of hearing + memory, prompting feelings of nostalgia, hope, and kinship with her work."

--Lauren Levato Coyne of Waveforms Media

"Orion puts her letter to music in the form of whispers, mechanical screams, drumbeats and glitches, which evolve into a more melodic form as the album moves along, though the record’s sound never loses its edge and unpredictability." - MEg Trogolo // Worcester Magazine
