I’m Brian Orsi.

This is my website.

(It’s new. I’ll be adding more content to it. Check back regularly. Updated October 2025)

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’m a “Life Expert” and 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 Music 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.
