Orianthi Panagari (MJ's guitarist)

Yesterday I watched MJ's THIS IS IT with Seppy (her treat). One of my reason why I want to watch that is ORIANTHI PANAGARI. She played guitar for MJ's this is it final concert tour, but we all know what happened kung bakit hindi natuloy (my deepest condelence to the Jackson family). Well so Orianthi is awesome! When I say awesome i mean awesome awesome awesome. Awesome! :)) Orianthi  was born in  Adelaide, Australia (she's half greek). She learned to play accoustic guitar at 6. She started electric guitar when she was 11. She left school at 15 to focus on her compositions and to perform.  he has been playing in different friends' bands since she was 14 in England and in France. Her first support show was for Steve Vai aged 15. Orianthi had the opportunity to meet and jam with Carlos Santana when she was 18. He invited Orianthi to get up and jam with him at soundcheck then later asked if she would join him on stage that night to jam. She is signed with Geffen Records in late 2006, and in 2008 struck a management deal with 19 Entertainment. .
Orianthi has played with Prince,  made a video clip for Panasonic HD, had a song on the Bratz movie, played at the Eric Clapton Crossroad guitar festival. She was named in the 12 Greatest Female Electric Guitarists. She also appeared at the 51st annual Grammy Awards as Carri Undwerwood's lead guitarist. Orianthi is now 24 years old. (smoking hot 24 year old girl). She releases her new album BELIEVE including her single According to you. :)
