Orianthi

Last week, Orianthi performed a free show for fans at The Hard Rock in Hollywood. Not only did this Australian native kill it on guitar solos, she delivered an amazing vocal performance to a jam-packed restaurant.

Starpulse got a chance to sit down with the 25-year-old pop star before her debut show! Orianthi revealed she had a crush on both Robert Pattinson and Jude Law as well as what it was like working with Michael Jackson.

Starpulse: How are you making the transition from "Michael Jackson's Guitarist" to becoming a rock/pop star, Orianthi?

Orianthi: I've been doing this for a while; the record was already done and set for release before I got the email to go on tour with Michael. I had my band and we were ready to rock out! But after going through that life changing experience, you know, to work with someone so incredible, it made me believe in myself more. I needed a bit of time after working with Michael to reflect on everything-I think that everyone who was working on the tour should continue doing what they're doing with Michael's spirit.

What's the number one thing you learned from Michael?

Never hold back. Project your energy and have fun! Inspire people-I want to inspire more girls to play electric guitar and hit your highest notes.
