In an era where authenticity in music often feels overshadowed by trends and commercial appeal, Brandon Jordan stands out as a refreshing reminder of raw talent, resilience, and purpose. His journey has not been an easy one, but through every challenge, he has continued to define himself as a true artist — one driven by passion and integrity rather than popularity. Brandon Jordan shares that he has “faced many challenges throughout his journey into music. From other artists being intimidated and nervous to work with him on a song because of their fears of his voice outshining them, to certain individuals not welcoming him to events.” Brandon Jordan explains that even when invited, he sometimes felt “shaded heavily because of his voice.” According to Brandon Jordan, it often seems as though “‘sangggers,’ not singers, aren’t recognized more for their music and talents these days.” He expresses concern that the industry has “become a hot mess of a circus” where “they take anyone that can remotely hum or mumble and make it appear as they can sing.” Despite these frustrations, Brandon states that “all those silly challenges he has faced have only made him more comfortable and better at his craft in the music that he does.”
When discussing his creative process, Brandon Jordan provides an intimate look into his artistry. “A typical day for me in working on a project album or an EP or a single consists of me in my own headspace,” he explains. “I like to sift through certain instrumentals that basically speak to me in a way where it can speak to others. I like to tell stories that can connect with my audience so that they know, I’m speaking some s** and understanding how I feel because they also go through those emotions as well.” He continues, “Whether it be about the state of affairs concerning working relationships or failed ones, cheating, etc., I have a great deal of experience performing some of the songs I have written.” One of his proudest moments came when he performed at the legendary SOB’s in Manhattan, NYC. “I was so proud and excited to have seen just a tiny tidbit of a wonderful dream come true,” he shares. For Brandon Jordan, “showing up, performing on stage, and just showing me and my vulnerability — being just me on stage and off — is very fulfilling because I get to know my people, and we gunna have fun and chop it up.” Having learned from the legends who came before him, Brandon Jordan feels confident that “if he ever did his first concert, it’d be one to remember.”
When asked what advice he would give to other artists, Brandon Jordan doesn’t hesitate to offer wisdom grounded in experience. “The best advice I could give or bring to another artist is to be as real as you can possibly be,” he says. “Speak your mind in your music. Don’t make it up — you lose your authenticity as a musician and person. Trust yourself and your process. With progress comes beautiful progression, which yes, is a process, but what’s really progression without the process?” He concludes with one final piece of powerful advice: “Most importantly, when you build your table, make sure that your table is solid as a rock, and the company you keep doesn’t f** with your table.”* Brandon Jordan’s journey through the highs and lows of the music industry reflects not just talent, but tenacity and authenticity. His voice — both literally and figuratively — stands as a testament to perseverance and self-belief. In a world where trends come and go, Brandon Jordan reminds us that true artistry never fades, and that real music, rooted in truth and emotion, will always find its way to the people who need to hear it most.
