ETNT: As a New Artist, what is it like?
ORLANDO: Well I am not really new, you might remind me from the Kids Carousel, Junior Soca onarch, I won that in 2004, I have been on tour in the US before with Soca-Rama and did a couple of competitions over there.”

ETNT: What type of girls are you attracted to? Why did you write and sing Darkie?
ORLANDO: Actually I go for (blush) “red skinned” girls, but complexion does not really matter. I sang about ‘Darkie’ because Darkies don’t have a song. In a country like Trinidad where there are lots of red women always get the ‘rate up’ and I just wanted to bring something for the Darkie” dem. It took me about one hour to write that song. I actually like Rasta women too (blush) I don’t know why; women who have a good head on their shoulders and push a positive vibe, I also have a thing for older women (laugh).

ETNT: Is there a story behind your look/image?
ORLANDO: Actually I was bald head before, when I had corn rows, then afro, and just decided to grow a ras jus for so and then found out the meaning behind it afterwards, the religious side of it and took it into practice - the conscious vibes and the nature that comes with it. I don’t smoke though; look at my lips, see how pink these lips are?

ETNT: Are you single or taken? Why are you single?
ORLANDO: I am single. I have not found a woman on my kind of level to understand that being an artiste; I will not have time to talk to them every day. Not everyone understands me being single. I had bad experiences already. Yeah! It was not meant to be, I like to deal with more serious women on the whole because girls my age maybe don’t know what they want right now and I aint in to that (laugh). I have been single for almost one year, that’s why my sex life
is cold and phased out.

ETNT: What was your most embarrassing moment/ what was the weirdest thing that ever happened in your performances?
ORLANDO: Hmm, What to choose from? I had quite a few. I had an interview on dateline with Alison and I was sick at that time, I went to sing and during the performance I was feeling even more and more sick, I had the flu. I just leave the mic and walked off the stage on live television eh! I think that was pretty embarrassing (laugh)
