At just 20 years old, Jordan Anthony is proving that authenticity and heart still have a place in pop music. The Perth-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has already lived a career many artists only dream of—yet he’s just getting started. From the piano bench of his childhood home to international TV stages, Jordan has built his sound on the foundation of raw storytelling and connection. Every note he sings feels personal, as if written in the quiet hours of the night when words aren’t enough but music can still make sense of it all.
That sense of purpose started early. At just seven years old, Jordan wrote his first song about being bullied—a moment that turned pain into power. It was in that vulnerability that he discovered his voice, not just as a singer, but as a storyteller. “From that point on I knew it was exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life,” he’s said. “It became my mission to use these stories to connect with as many people as I possibly can.” Music became his language, his safe haven, and his way of reaching others who might be quietly fighting their own battles.
Even if his parents had to nudge him toward piano lessons at first, those early years built the skills that now set him apart as a self-sufficient artist—one who sings, arranges, and composes with effortless command. By high school, there was no backup plan, no hesitation. Music wasn’t a dream; it was his destiny. And that relentless drive began to pay off fast.
In 2019, Jordan took the stage on The Voice Australia and quickly became a fan favorite, soaring all the way to the Top 4. That same year, he represented Australia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with his empowering original “We Will Rise,” placing in the global Top 10. Those moments marked the beginning of his rise, but they were far from the peak. He went on to headline Perth’s One Big Voice Festival three years in a row, perform at RAC Arena, and deliver a TEDx talk in his hometown—all while carving his path as a true artist with something real to say.
His debut single “Broken Love” earned over 600,000 streams and landed on major Spotify playlists like Peaceful Pop and New Pop, introducing his emotional, cinematic sound to listeners around the world. But 2024 brought a new chapter when Jordan crossed oceans and joined American Idol, captivating audiences once again and earning a spot in the Top 14. That milestone became the push he needed to relocate full-time to Los Angeles, where he’s now shaping the next phase of his artistry.
His latest single, “Tell Me,” feels like the culmination of everything he’s learned along the way—a bright, sun-soaked anthem about love, longing, and the messy middle ground between both. Written in Perth and brought to life in L.A. with producers Byron Keno and Parker Matthews, the track captures the frustration of wanting emotional clarity from someone who just won’t open up. “It’s about wanting so badly to be with someone and knowing they want it too, but they’re holding back,” Jordan explains. “At that point, you just want to say, ‘Please tell me if you want this or not.’”
With its massive hooks, shimmering production, and the kind of chorus made for festival stages, “Tell Me” showcases Jordan’s rare ability to turn personal emotion into universal connection. It’s a song that hits just as hard in headphones at midnight as it does blasting through speakers in the sun. That balance between honesty and euphoria—between heartache and hope—is what makes his music feel timeless.
Whether writing alone late at night or collaborating in the studio, Jordan Anthony’s songs always start from a place of truth. They echo with themes of love, heartbreak, resilience, and belonging—reminding listeners that vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s what binds us together. And for an artist who’s already stood on some of the world’s biggest stages, his message remains beautifully simple: to make people feel seen, heard, and a little less alone.
