New single “Tell Me” from Australian (Perth) pop riser Jordan Anthony. Jordan delivers a massive, sun-soaked pop anthem about mixed signals and emotional honesty. Written in his hometown of Perth and brought to life in Los Angeles with producers Byron Keno and Parker Matthews, the track captures the frustration of wanting clarity from someone who won’t open up. “It’s about wanting so badly to be with someone and knowing they want it too, but they’re holding back. At that point, you just want to say, ‘Please tell me if you want this or not,’” he explains. With its infectious hooks and stadium-ready production, “Tell Me” cements Jordan’s gift for pairing confessional lyrics with universal, feel-good melodies.
The singer first gained attention as an American Idol Top 14 and has since found success with over 600,000 streams on his debut single “Broken Love” (featured on Spotify’s “Peaceful Pop”).
At just 20 years old, Jordan Anthony has already lived a career that many artists spend a lifetime chasing. A Perth-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Jordan crafts emotionally charged pop anthems rooted in raw storytelling and powered by his powerhouse vocals. From his earliest days at the piano to international TV stages, he has always written with one mission in mind: to connect, to make listeners feel seen, heard, and less alone.
Jordan’s journey began long before the spotlight. He wrote his first song at the age of seven, a heartfelt reflection on being bullied at school. Though he couldn’t always bring himself to speak openly about those struggles, music became his safe haven, the place where he could tell the truth. “From that point on I knew that it was exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life,” he says. “It became my mission to use these stories to connect with as many people as I possibly can.”
His parents may have had to drag him to piano lessons at five years old, but that early training gave Jordan the foundation to not only sing, but also arrange and compose his own music, setting him apart as a true self-sufficient artist. By the time he reached high school, there was no “Plan B.” Music wasn’t just a passion; it was the only future he saw for himself.
That relentless dedication quickly paid off. In 2019, Jordan captivated Australian audiences on The Voice, where he made it all the way to the Top 4. Soon after, he proudly represented his country at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with his stirring original song We Will Rise, placing in the Top 10 globally. He went on to headline Perth’s One Big Voice Festival three years in a row at RAC Arena, spoke at TEDx Perth, and began building an international audience with his own songs, including debut single Broken Love, which earned over 600,000 streams and landed on major Spotify playlists like Peaceful Pop and New Pop.
In 2024, Jordan was invited to take his artistry to the world stage as a contestant on American Idol. His journey to the Top 14 solidified his place as an emerging global pop force and inspired him to relocate full-time to Los Angeles, where he now lives and records. Shortly after, he released Cherry, a breakout collaboration with fellow Idol alum Ajii, further establishing himself as an artist-to-watch.

Though he writes in different ways depending on the moment, sometimes alone late at night, other times in sessions with collaborators, Jordan’s songs always come from a deeply personal place. Themes of love, heartbreak, longing, resilience, and finding belonging run through his
