## Career

Template:BLP sources section
Darian made a YouTube channel for Johnny, "JohnnyOsings" on December 5, 2011, and posted a cover of him singing "Mistletoe". Orlando and his sister recorded it in their bathroom because their bathroom had good acoustics. Initially, they expected at most 100 views, but to their surprise, the video went viral and got more than 100,000 views in a month. Citing the initial success of the first video, he and his sister continued posting covers of famous musical artists like Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Taylor Swift, Austin Mahone, and Selena Gomez on his YouTube channel while Darian directed, shot, produced and edited all his videos.

His debut EP, *VXIIXI* was released in 2015 when he was 12 years old. In 2017, a YouTube video was posted by *Glamour* showing P!nk viewing his cover of her song “Just Give Me a Reason”, in which the singer noted he had “incredible voice control.” He signed with Universal Music Canada on May 18, 2018, and has released singles such as "Day and Night" and "What If" (both featuring Mackenzie Ziegler), "Last Summer", "Waste My Time", "All These Parties", "Phobias", "See You" and "Everybody Wants You". His second EP, *Teenage Fever*, was released on March 15, 2019. Orlando embarked on his second headlining North American tour in support of the EP, beginning on April 29, 2019, in Chicago and ending on May 22, 2019, in Vancouver. It was supported by his close friends Hayden Summerall and Gus McMillan.

It was announced that MTV had signed a deal for consumer products with Orlando at the end of July 2020. On October 23, 2020, he announced his third EP, *It's Never Really Over* was released.

In 2023, he participated in an all-star recording of Serena Ryder's single "What I Wouldn't Do", which was released as a charity single to benefit Kids Help Phone's Feel Out Loud campaign for youth mental health.
