I’m Brian Orsi.

This is my website.

(Site updated March 2026)

Event producer and DJ, owner of Bucko! (r.i.p.), founder of Undertone Arts and ONETWOHEARTU, semi-handy person, hospitality and nightlife consultant, and general “big idea guy”.

I worked in NYC nightlife for a time. I tended bar and dj’d. I also got into consulting and helping with design and build outs. More about that here.

At one point, I was a halfway decent actor, singer, and dancer.

In recent years, I’ve become a housing and healthy communities advocate. I’ve curated quite a bit of data and other resources on these issues.

I am looking for work.

Quick Bio

I was born on Grand Island, in the WNY region. I lived in Buffalo through college and for a time after.
I graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute where I was heavily involved in the choral and performance program there. (I was around for “the basement”.) I then attended the University at Buffalo where I earned a BFA in Musical Theatre.
I moved to NYC at some point in 2006 and got heavily involved in hospitality and nightlife. I was also a real estate agent for a decade.
In 2015, I moved to Peekskill to build a new life.
For the next 10 years, I gave it absolutely everything I had.
I now have two amazing sons and a new path ahead of me.
Moving forward, one of the few things I know for certain is that I want to be around people that appreciate and love me as I am. No more masks. I want simple and light and fun.
