Orlando Weeks is a British musician and artist, primarily known for his tenure as the frontman of the indie rock band The Maccabees. Following the band's amicable split in 2016, after a successful run that included albums like "Colour It In" and "Marks to Prove It," Weeks embarked on a solo career that allowed him to explore a different facet of his artistry. His work as a solo artist marks a departure from the guitar-driven anthems with The Maccabees, venturing into more introspective and nuanced musical territories.

His first solo release, "A Quickening," arrived in 2020 and showcased a deeply personal narrative, reflecting on themes of anticipation and change surrounding the birth of his first child. Weeks continued to evolve his sound with the release of his follow-up album, "Hop Up," in January 2022. Praised for its melodic sophistication and thoughtful lyricism, "Hop Up" solidified Orlando Weeks as a compelling solo artist capable of weaving his warm vocal delivery through lush, textured arrangements. Tracks like "Big Skies, Silly Faces" and "Deep Down Way Out" exhibit Weeks' penchant for crafting songs that balance a delicate emotional core with a sense of expansive sonority, a testament to his maturation as a songwriter and musician.
