Today we’d like to introduce you to Jordan Grace
Hi Jordan, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Australian born and raised, Nashville based. Grew up touring with my Dad, Steve Grace who is a country singer and playing in various country/rock bands. In Covid I was uploading some covers and “Alesso” posted one on his Instagram and that week I was introduced to the EDM scene with 100’s of DJ’s contacting me to sing on there songs. I honestly had never of even considered writing and singing for such artists. Since than, I’ve released over 500+ EDM songs and got to collaborate with people like Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Nicky Romero and many many more. Honestly people I would never in a million years think I’d be working/writing with and consider them now my friends. Coolest moment was meeting Alesso in Amsterdam and getting to share how his post of my cover completely changed the course of my life and opened the doors into the EDM world. I’d like to say “I’m a small town country kid lost in the EDM world and I never want to leave”
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Struggles haha yes! Ive been away from my homeland for half of my life. The sacrifice and the amount of family, marriages, children, deaths and precious moments with family you miss out on to chase a dream. But for me I keep chasing because I feel the purpose in what I was born to do. So I think “endurance” is the right word. In this industry EVERYONE is talented. So many people are better singers than me. So….All I can do everyday is wake up and choose to work harder than the person next to me. Nothing is handed to you, someone or something might open a door but once you walk through it is on YOU to show up and never never give up.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
My main job now is called a “Topliner” writing vocals for DJ’s all over the world. Whether they send me their instrumentals or I just write with a piano and they add there production later.
But what I’m most excited about now is also starting to DJ myself and have many solo shows coming up! Next year I plan to be touring with my own shows across America and beyond!
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
I’m normal haha. Literally though. Thousands or creatives all thinking in our own unique and weird creative ways. What I love most is my family of writers and artists here want me to win and I want them to win. My friends aren’t my competition and if one of us rises we all rise together
