Biography

Growing up in the city, Orfeh attended New York City public schools. Immediately after graduation from a performing arts high school, she landed a record deal with EMI Records, headlining the early-1990s dance group, "Or-N-More". Life suddenly became a whirlwind of coast-to-coast concerts, music video shoots and press appearances for Orfeh as the group's self-titled album and single, "Everyotherday", were released. The single off the gold album went top 40 on the pop charts and #1 on the club play charts. As a songwriter, Orfeh has written and produced songs for other artists. She also remains a member of NARAS, which gives her nominating and voting privileges for the Grammy Awards. Orfeh entered the Broadway scene, by chance, as a choreographer friend encouraged her to audition for the musical, "Footloose"; she made her debut in the fall of 1998, as understudy to all the female leads in the original company. Following "Footloose", Orfeh was part of the ten-member company of "The Gershwins' Fascinating Rhythm". She belted out modern interpretations of Gershwin classics, alongside talents like 'Adriane Lenox' _ Orfeh balances her acting and singing work with a career as one of the top voice-over artists around. Orfeh continues to work on her music and released her debut solo CD, "What Do You Want From Me", on Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight records. The CD is available everywhere in stores and online, now.
