Biography
Alexander Orbison (born May 25, 1975), also known as Orbi, is an American drummer, writer, director, and film producer. He is the president of Still Working Music Group, a publishing company. He is also president and co-founder of Roy's Boys LLC, which manages the legacy of his father, musician Roy Orbison; the organization also includes his brothers, Roy Orbison Jr. and Wesley Orbison. Orbi is the youngest son of Roy Orbison and Barbara Orbison, born on May 25, 1975. He is their second born child, following Roy Kelton Orbison, Jr, born October 18, 1970. He has an older half-brother, Wesley Orbison. In addition, he had two older brothers from Roy's first marriage who died in a fire. They lived on Old Hickory Lake, next door to his god-parents Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Growing up in a musical household, Orbi's first instrument was violin, as his hands were too small for the guitar, followed by guitar and piano before landing on drums. After Roy travelled to California to co-write with Jerry Lynn Williams and Will Jennings, Roy decided to move his family to Malibu in 1985.
Following the death of his mother in 2011, Orbi moved back to Nashville, Tennessee, after promising her he'd "get down to Nashville and take care of business" following her battle with pancreatic cancer. He currently lives there with his wife, Erika Wolf Orbison, two children Eden Orbison (b. September 27, 2018) and Wylie Cozy Wolf Orbison (b. February 14, 2021).
In 2024 Orbi joined The Allman Betts Band replacing their former drummer, R. Scott Bryan, who died in December 2023.
