Baton Rouge, Louisiana native Jor’Dan Armstrong transcends the traditional approach to gospel music and offers a fresh take that instantly hooks you in.
The intersectionality of urban, inspirational, mainstream, and gospel is Armstrong’s sweet spot. Jor’Dan is one of the exceptional talents who has taken the potent influence of his church upbringing combined with his pop sensibilities to become one of the most original voices in gospel music today.
Since his debut album “Champion” in January 2009, Jor’Dan has discovered his formula that makes him unique. With his high commercial appeal, Jor’Dan immediately became an artist to watch with an infusing sound of urban inspirational sound with today’s commercial R&B.
Building his discography with well-received albums “Stronger” (2012) and “52 Weeks of Summer” (2015), Jor’Dan went on to release a slew of BLSD EP releases in 2018 and 2019 that catapulted his career. Amassing millions of views across social media, coupled with incredible streaming numbers and substantial radio play, Armstrong solidified his position as an important and needed voice in Gospel music.
Jor’Dan’s unique combination of high commercial appeal, solid beats, and meaningful lyrics is what sets him aside. With Jor’Dan’s music, fans can hear influences from Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary in his groundbreaking sound.
After a short hiatus, Jor’Dan returns with his new single, “My God”. The latest single was inspired by the singer’s love and appreciation of life. “My God is such a masterful artist. He created the universe, and earth, and something as beautiful as this sunset. I want to show that the good life isn’t just hyper-focused on material or sexual things,” Armstrong said. “In a society where most people brag about materialistic things, I want to brag about God.” With his forthcoming album expected for a 2022 release date, Jor’Dan’s new music continues to follow his discography.
