Jordan's musical style has been referred to as jazz pop, alternative pop, psychedelic rock, neosoul, Broadway, and alt jazz.[3][4] They are also often compared to Norah Jones.[3][5] Jordan frequently collaborates with other New Orleans musicians as a background vocalist or sideman and has worked with artists such as Billy Iuso, Renee Gros, Anna Moss, and Isaac Eady.[6][7][8][9]
They released the single "Ceasefire!” in September 2023, which was reviewed by Bobby Patrick of BroadwayWorld as "one to return to over time to hear and to feel an artist’s sound portrait of heartfelt circumstance that comes to all those who love."[4] In October 2023 Jordan released their debut EP Sing to the Moon.[10] In a positive review Natalie Patrick wrote of the EP for Earmilk: "Each track on the album is a unique emotional expression, taking you on a captivating journey from the first note to the last."[10]
