Early life
Tiffany Majette was born and raised in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, in a conservative Christian home. She grew up in a neighborhood named after civil rights activist, Ethel Lawrence. At an early age, Majette was inspired by the music at the Bethany Baptist Church. Majette began songwriting in high school and was encouraged by her choir teacher to share her music more widely. Although she was accepted into Berklee College of Music, Majette was not able to attend for financial reasons.

Career
In Philadelphia, Majette became involved in an underground music collective called The Forest, until the death of a member caused the collective to disband.

In 2018, Orion Sun released singles S T R E T C H and Nirvanaaa. Her debut LP, Hold Space for Me, was released in 2018 with Mom + Pop. In his review for Pitchfork, the critic Dani Blum wrote that the album was "stark [and] lightly poetic".

In 2020, after being injured by police at a racial justice protest in her hometown, Majette wrote the song "Mama's Baby." She raised over $18,000 from the song's sales on Bandcamp, and donated the funds to Breonna Taylor's GoFundMe and the Loveland Foundation.

In 2021, Orion Sun released her debut EP, Getaway, which featured production and writing from Rostam Batmanglij, Nascent, Rodaidh McDonald and Guapdad 4000. In 2023 she opened for Daniel Cesar for his Superpowers World Tour. Her self-titled LP, Orion, releases on September 20th, 2024.
