Jordan Smith

Jordan Smith is an American singer and songwriter who rose to fame after winning Season 9 of The Voice in 2015. Known for his powerful and soulful voice, Jordan made history as the bestselling artist in the show's history, captivating audiences with his incredible range and emotional performances. Born in Harlan, Kentucky, Jordan grew up surrounded by music, often singing with his family and in church, which helped shape his distinctive vocal style that blends gospel, pop and Christian influences. 

In 2016, Jordan released his debut album, Something Beautiful, produced by David Foster. The album featured a mix of originals and covers, showcasing his impressive vocal talent. Among his celebrated works are his Christmas albums, such as 'Tis the Season (2018), also produced by Foster. His album Be Still and Know (2022) emphasizes his commitment to Christian music and his passion for using music as a tool for positive change.

A decade after his successful win on The Voice, Jordan showcases his most authentic self on his dazzling new gospel album, The People’s Hymnal. He describes the new album as “deeply personal” while presenting “a picture of the music that has influenced me throughout my life,” providing a superb canvas for his inimitable, gravity-defying voice. A collection of nine radiant hymns that Jordan grew up not so much belting as fully embodying, including such showstoppers as towering album opener Oh Happy Day and Great Is Thy Faithfulness (Lord Unto Me), The People’s Hymnal locates the very heart of the multihyphenate musician, whose luminous, gravity-defying voice vividly testifies to the magnificence of the music and its jubilant Christian message. Co-produced by two giants of rock and gospel music, Grammy-winning musician Tommy Sims — whose exceptional CV runs the gamut from Cece Winans to Bruce Springsteen — and guitarist-producer extraordinaire Colin Linden (Lucinda Williams, the McCrary Sisters), The People’s Hymnal is that rarest of things. It’s a gospel record mindful of tradition yet expansive enough to embrace influences ranging from James Taylor to ABBA to Stevie Wonder. It includes a quote or two from Simon & Garfunkel and Carole King weaved into one of two medleys that greatly expand the album’s sonic reach while upholding the “classic and timeless” vibe that Jordan and his team set out to achieve. In the new record’s liner notes, he writes, “I grew up in a little church in the Appalachian Mountains. If there’s a cloth I’ve been cut from, songs like these are the thread. They are my inheritance.”

Jordan continues to make music that inspires and uplifts, with a focus on spreading messages of hope, self-acceptance and faith.
