🔵 Jordan Anthony ○ Hurt Me Sooner

  From UNITED STATES 

A

t just 20 years old, Jordan Anthony has already lived a lifetime of music. The Perth-born, Los Angeles–based artist writes emotionally charged pop anthems that fuse storytelling with soul, transforming his own struggles and triumphs into songs that make people feel seen.

His journey began early. At age seven, Jordan wrote his first song, not a hit, as he jokes, but an outlet. Bullied at school and struggling to open up, songwriting became his escape. “It allowed me to say things I never could out loud,” he recalls. “From that point on, I knew this was what I was meant to do: to help people feel seen, heard, and less alone.”

By five, his parents had enrolled him in piano lessons, a decision he once resisted but now credits as the foundation of his self-sufficient musicianship. With that skill came the freedom to arrange and compose, and before long, he was writing songs with the kind of emotional honesty that would define his artistry.

At 14, Jordan stepped into the spotlight, earning national attention as a Top 4 finalist on The Voice Australia (2019). That same year, he represented Australia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, performing his original song “We Will Rise” and placing eighth internationally. Soon after, he was headlining Perth’s One Big Voice festival at RAC Arena and delivering a TEDx Talk on the power of storytelling through music.

But it was his leap into the global scene that truly set him apart. In 2024, Jordan was invited to compete on American Idol, where he made the Top 14 and introduced his music to a worldwide audience. The experience led him to relocate to Los Angeles — a move that marked the beginning of his next chapter.

His breakout collaboration “Cherry” with fellow Idol alum Ajii served as his first major introduction to global listeners, combining silky pop production with heartfelt lyricism and marking the beginning of Jordan’s evolution into a world-class pop storyteller.

In the months that followed, Jordan cemented his creative identity with a string of powerful singles, “Reckless” and “Tell Me”, each exploring a different shade of love, loss, and self-discovery. “Reckless” showcased Jordan’s cinematic pop sensibility and his ability to make heartbreak feel euphoric, while “Tell Me” leaned into vulnerability, pairing his soaring vocals with introspective lyricism that resonated deeply with fans. Together, the tracks set the stage for his most emotionally mature work to date.

Now, Jordan returns with his newest single, “Hurt Me Sooner”, a song that captures the ache of looking back on a relationship and wishing you could get that time back, even when you know it shaped you.

Written with Brett Koolik and produced by Taylor Sparks, “Hurt Me Sooner” delivers the catharsis of heartbreak through a sweeping pop landscape inspired by Lewis Capaldi’s emotional ballads. It’s a song built for late-night drives and quiet reflection, a powerful blend of vulnerability and strength that has become Jordan’s signature.

“Sometimes the worst thing we can do is try to deny how we feel,” Jordan says. “I hope this song helps someone sit with their emotions instead of running from them, to feel the feels and start to heal.”

While Jordan’s musical roots draw from artists like Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Adele, Bruno Mars, and Charlie Puth, his own voice stands apart — a blend of emotional precision, pop craftsmanship, and authenticity that resonates far beyond his years. Seeing Ed Sheeran live on the Divide tour was a defining moment: “He made the dream feel real,” Jordan recalls. “He felt like a normal guy doing extraordinary things, and that made me believe I could do this too.”

Jordan’s artistry thrives in that balance, between vulnerability and confidence, heartbreak and hope. His songs are built to be felt as much as heard: cinematic, melodic, and deeply human.

Outside the studio, Jordan keeps life grounded. He loves sushi outings, PlayStation sessions, and long beach days, but soccer remains his second great love, a passion that’s been with him as long as music has. Family also plays a huge role in his life, and he makes a point to return to Perth whenever possible to reconnect with the people who shaped him.

Looking ahead, Jordan plans to continue releasing singles through 2025, leading into his first full body of work in 2026, a collection he describes as his most honest yet. “I just want people to feel something,” he says. “If someone hears a line and thinks, ‘That’s me,’ then I’ve done what I set out to do.”

With “Hurt Me Sooner”, “Reckless,” and “Tell Me,” Jordan Anthony stands at the forefront of a new generation of pop artists, ones who aren’t afraid to bare their souls. His music is proof that even in heartbreak, there’s beauty; even in loss, there’s light; and even in the most personal stories, there’s something that unites us all.
