"Roy’s son, Alex Orbison, painstakingly selected songs that were most representational of his father’s vast catalog, which totals 27 studio albums, four live albums, and over 60 singles, 22 of which placed in the U.S. Billboard Top 40 chart. Narrowing it down was no easy task. "It is a great honor for me and my brothers, Wesley and Roy Jr., to finally and definitively distill our father’s entire career onto a single disc as best one can possibly do and, certainly, as never done before," said Alex. "It is the result of years of research, archiving and listening, and it is with supreme and heartfelt pleasure that we will be able to share it with the world.""

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.

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.

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.

In the early 1990s, Orbi made friends with Jerry Lynn Williams' son Chris Williams, co-founding a band called Backbone69.

Guitarist-vocalist Williams and drummer Orbi, Backbone69 included guitarist Duane Betts, son of the Allman Brothers' Dickey Betts, and bass player Berry Oakley Jr., son of Allman Brothers bassist Berry Oakley.

In 1992, Orbi took his first professional position in publishing with Don Williams Music Group, but as Backbone gained popularity amongst the community, Orbi left his position in publishing to tour with Backbone69.

After signing with Atlantic Records in 2000 and a television series on VH1, Whitestarr disbanded in 2008.

In 2001, Chris Williams was in a fatal car accident, which led to the dissipation of the band.

As Betts described it, "It was like the tribe lost its chief."

While Williams was alive, the members of Backbone frequently played as backing band for the son of Lou Adler, Cisco Adler's project called Whitestarr.

After Williams' death, Cisco invited the boys of Backbone to formally join the band.

Following the death of his mother in 2011, Alex 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.

Since 2012, Alex has been president of the publishing company, Still Working Music Group and Roy's Boys LLC, managing his father's catalog with his brothers.
