Jordan Hunt is a composer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and podcast host
Classically trained, he creates deeply emotional, introspective music blending orchestral colours and piano landscapes with electronic terrain and enigmatic strings. His songs blend thoughtful lyricism and vulnerable vocals, drawing from his own experiences of love, loss and transformation.
He hosts the podcast Deep Down with Jordan Hunt, where he explores creativity, vulnerability and the artist’s path, through intimate conversations with fellow musicians and makers.
He is co-founder of the Principle Six label and Musical/Associate Director of the Theo Adams Company.
His genre-defying discography spans pop and classical, with airplay on BBC Radio 3, 6Music, Kerrang! and Soho Radio. He is the musical companion of Grammy-nominated Olivia Chaney, and former violinist with The Irrepressibles and The Hidden Cameras, touring widely across Europe, Asia, and North America. He toured over twenty U.S. states with Olivia Chaney, opening for Robert Plant and The Decemberists. His European support credits include Baby Dee, Little Annie, and the late Ed Askew.
His classical works have been commissioned and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, Philharmonia, and London Sinfonietta, conducted by Oliver Knussen and James MacMillan, and released on the NMC label.
He has worked with artists including Lana Del Rey, FKA twigs, Olly Alexander, Kylie Minogue, Danny L Harle, Paloma Faith, Fiona Shaw, Nick Knight, David Sims, and Raqib Shaw, and on major live TV events including Eurovision, the BRIT Awards and Later… with Jools Holland.
He’s created music for Alexander McQueen, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Halpern, Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, and W Magazine
His debut short film score for Theo Adams Company’s ‘Safety Curtain’ debuted on Channel 4.
