Kai Ross-Best
Kai is the vocalist and lead guitarist for ORPHIX.
Kai is responsible for coming up with the catchy riffs you hear from Orphix's music, he likes to write music based on real events, or around themes of different films he's watched, such as "Burnout, Superstar".
Coming from Kent in the United Kingdom, Kai has been part of a few other heavier bands only on guitar. He took a leap of faith and moved up to the midlands to pursue a further music career & try something new.
His inspirations for the music he creates includes, but is not limited to, Alice Cooper, Green Day, Foo Fighers, Aerosmith etc.
Kai claims he's not an emo and it's just the hair... we're not sure about that though.
Esme Gillett
Esme is the drummer for ORPHIX.
Esme (also in local band, SUMWoTGRRRL), brings the groove into every song in Orphix. She has a huge music range, and loves trying new styles, which is perfect for bringing Orphix to life.
Esme tends to question her sanity when we try and explain our own drum beat using random noises... sorry Esme.
Esme has an epic shoe collection too, just thought we'd let you know.
Jacob Dakin
Jacob is the bassist for ORPHIX.
Jacob brings the smooth basslines along to Orphix. He has more of an emo/alternative background with music, which means he knows all of the classics to bring into Orphix.
We think Jacob might actually be Johnnie Gilbert, or at least his stunt double.
He is definitely emo.
