Jordana

A South African 19 year old singer, songwriter and actress, Jordana has taken a winding road to get to the U.S. to pursue her love for pop music. With a little wink in her step and a strong discipline to outrun the competition, Jordana has a voice of yester-year, when singers could actually sing! From her amazing broad range to her flirtatious edgy stage presence, Jordana has the chops to sing anything put in front of her, and sing it with a desire, packed between the notes!!
