Jordyn with Why
About
Introducing Jordyn with a Why
Growing up in the suburban-scapes of South Auckland, Jordyn has quickly impacted the Aotearoa music scene with her ethereal R&B sounds. Descending from Whāingaroa, Mulifanua Lalovi, Falelatai and Vaimoso, the stories of her ancestors are woven throughout her music.
Jordyn’s ‘why’ is in and through her music - she tells the stories of language reclamation, identity and cultural heritage. As an emerging artist, Jordyn has made noticeable moves in the music scene and shows no signs of slowing down.
