John Orpheus Archives - Popguru Sound & Vision

Look To The Moon has been described by the collaborators as the ultimate “pan-cultural summer driving song”! It is a song that never could have been written by the various parties on their own. Martha Johnson and Mark Gane of Chemical Dreams (and Martha and the Muffins) saw John Orpheus perform at the Confidence Emperors album launch for The International Sound System Party, Volume 1 compilation at The Drake Underground in June 2019. Says Johnson, “His dynamic stage presence made an impression on us and we thought he was an interesting guy that we could work with someday.” Adds Gane, ““Several months later we were pitching a track for a car commercial which called for a dance/club feel. Martha made some beats with a hip hop feel and I added some rhythm guitar, but we needed another element and John immediately came to mind.” The single and video are now available on all platforms.

John Orpheus Signs For Independent Sync Representation

January 30, 2019

John Orpheus, SyncGuru

We are pleased to announce that we have signed John Orpheus, the group, and their album Wey Ya Call Dat Ting, for North American independent sync representation. Wey Ya Call Dat Ting is the culmination of a two year, four mixtape project and is equal parts contemporary R’n’B, dancehall and Afro beats. Aside from John, the group consists of DJ/drummer Sarah Riegler and singer/dancer Chaenel Matisse. Exclaim magazine described their music as “a high energy, marinated mix of AfroPop, jiggy AF hip hop, soca and dancehall”.
