Orchid Orchestra is a Vancouver-based indie pop band blending lush choral harmonies, shimmering synths, and cinematic electronic textures into a bold, emotionally resonant sound. Fronted by therapist and songwriter Rupert Hudson, their music explores vulnerability, self-acceptance, and connection—often leaving audiences both dancing and deeply moved. Before forming Orchid Orchestra, Hudson worked as a music manager, founded a record label and art collective, and toured with up-and-coming artists, including on a tour with Chance The Rapper. These experiences, combined with time spent living at a meditation centre and working as a fire lookout, shaped the band’s reflective yet adventurous spirit. Following their second EP Be Lucky, Orchid Orchestra is now recording its debut full-length album, supported by a CreativeBC grant and SOCAN’s highly selective TD Incubator for Creative Entrepreneurship. Their live shows combine heartfelt songwriting with immersive, high-energy arrangements that bridge organic and electronic worlds.
