Jordan Hunt is a composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist.
In March 2018 he released debut EP Long Lost on 12” vinyl. His debut single ‘Mother’ was premiered on BBC Radio 6 Music and the music video was premiered by Another Man, admiring his "mesmerising... spellbinding melodic pop sound”. In summer 2020 he released full-length classical EP To the Ocean Floor, commissioned by Sadler’s Wells. In 2022 he released single ‘Two, Alone for Solo Violin’ commissioned by the Royal Academy of Music, performed by Amalia Young. In 2023, released The Three Visions for Solo Violin, a ten-track EP of solo violin music, commissioned by Sadler’s Wells.
Classically trained at RNCM, RAM and RCM, and drawing on his experiences as violinist in art-pop orchestra The Irrepressibles, Canadian band The Hidden Cameras and as long-standing musical companion to Grammy-nominated Olivia Chaney, he creates vivid, emotive music, weaving melodic ‘sad pop’ and symphonic-inspired textures.
He is a co-founder of Principle Six, and is Musical Director of the Theo Adams Company, an ever-growing and diverse London-based collective of artists, designers, dancers, musicians, and performers.
