Jordan Perry

Jordan Perry writes music for other people for a living. The excitement of taking another artist’s ideas and turning them into fully realized recordings inspires and challenges him on a daily basis. But in fall 2019 he took on his biggest challenge yet; finding his own sound.

​

When you spend your days creating for others it’s hard to find the time and energy for your own projects. Knowing the only way forward was by MAKING the time, Jordan, as the season’s first flakes of snow began to fall, locked himself in a cheap motel in Hawkesbury, Ontario with the sole purpose of writing as many songs for himself as possible. He emerged forty eight hours, two energy drinks and one bottle of whiskey later, with three songs that would become the first solo singles of his 20+ year career.

Jordan, originally a Saskatchewan-born drummer, spent his early twenties traveling around Canada and exploring the unique musical avenues each region offered. His hometown of Saskatoon gave him his foundation of pop, electronic, hip hop and rock; The Yukon offered a deeper exploration of classic and modern hits as a karaoke host at a tavern in Dawson City and drummer of several cover bands; His arrival in Montreal led to an eight year run in the death metal band Derelict, which kept him on the road touring, releasing albums, solidifying him as an influential drummer in the Canadian metal scene, and resulting in a nomination for a Canadian Independent Music Award before the band dissolved in 2013. Suddenly free to focus his efforts on production, Jordan immediately began working with highly credited musicians including Scott Thomas Robinson (Demi Lovato), Danny Flam (Kanye West) and Dan Konopka (OK Go), eventually hitting the US Top 40 charts in 2019 with December Rose’s female empowerment anthem “Raise Your Voice” and Quebec Top 100 charts with Matt Tremblay’s “Fast & Slow”.

​

Drawing influences from all aspects of his career, Jordan has created a sound completely unique to him. The nostalgic and dark electronic overtones have led some to draw comparisons to acts like Active Child and Rufus du Sol, with nods to Imogen Heap and Marina, while others have referenced Depeche Mode and The Cure, with a subtle but present hint of Synthwave. Jordan’s voice transitions seamlessly from smooth baritone to haunting falsetto, while his lyrics embrace the hard times and struggles inherent with a life in music. His debut single, “Drive into Night” is available on all streaming platforms.
