Jordan Astra – “Famous”

Born to an Indonesian father and German mother, this Toronto-based Canadian singer, songwriter and producer grew up listening to his parents’ music ranging from jazz to classic rock and gangster rap. He began his own musical journey after moving to Melbourne, Australia, where he lived for 8,5 years. Since returning to Canada, he’s played venues like The Dance Cave and festivals like NXNE. Inspired by Pharrell, Jamiroquai and SG Lewis, he debuted with his album “Astro” in 2018.

Despite what the title might make us think, his new single is actually not about chasing fame, but about the fleeting moments that emphasise the sheer beauty of life. Taken from his upcoming album “Time Will Tell”, expected on September 19th, this song was created with live instrumentation of a Steinway piano, vintage drums and live guitars. And with his sleek vocals recorded in a single take, this soulful, funkalicious groove is deftly crafted with raw, authentic sonic swagger.
