He created the channel on March 10, 2011, and uploaded his 1st video on February 13, 2012, which was an original song made for the SpinTunes 4 challenge, titled You (A Valentines Stalker Song). Up until late 2016, his YouTube content consisted of Let’s Play video series, typically of video games such as World of Warcraft, Team Build, Minecraft, DC Universe Online, and many others, made interesting by his comedic or roleplay commentary.

Starting in late 2016, TheOrionSound expanded his YouTube channel to include traveling vlogs, funny challenges, ukulele, and guitar tutorials, collaborations with other social media stars, as well as video game commentary on games such as Pokémon and Sims III. In 2018, he released a separate single, which was a cover of Shawn Mendes’s song In My Blood.
