Lad in Battle: Motivational Entertainment

Hi, my name is James Orrigo, and I have made it my mission to inspire young adults nationwide. Whether speaking at high schools, colleges, camps, or organizations, I leverage my unique blend of music, multimedia, comedy, and personal experiences to connect with my audience. My ultimate goal is to encourage individuals to unlock their full potential, pursue their passions, and help others along the way.

A pivotal moment in my own life came in 2007, when a severe brain injury nearly took me down. However, this traumatic event also sparked my love of music and creative expression. Today, I create original music with empowering themes that enable me to connect with others, make them laugh, and inspire reflection.

Hearing feedback like that from Austin Prep High School, where I always leave the crowd buzzing, validates my mission and fills me with gratitude.
