Orian’s passion for music led him to pick up the drums at the age of 10, and he quickly developed a prodigious talent for the instrument. He began studying classical piano and theory at the age of 12, further broadening his musical horizons.

He also performed at the Ein Gev Festival in 2018, which celebrated 70 years of the IDF bands. It featured renowned Israeli artists such as Yehoram Gaon, Sassi Keshet, and Moshe Peretz.
