Jordyn Stoddard, a young talent more successful than most at the age of seventeen, has recently caught my eye. Jordyn currently resides in Jackson Beach Florida and has caught the attention of many, winning Local Artist of the Year in 2013 for her single “Sayonara” and repeatedly strumming her turquoise guitar on local radio and tv stations in the Jacksonville area. Jordyn’s journey all began with the help of Kenny Chesney and her father. At the age of four Jordyn attended her first concert alongside her dad, where she got to hear Kenny Chesney sing, even getting a chance on stage with him. After that impacting experience Jordyn knew her future was in the music business. She began taking piano lessons and at the age of twelve she tackled the art of the guitar. Wanting a symbol to represent her music and success Jordyn started searching for blue guitars. Now Jordyn is known to many of her fans as the girl with the blue guitar.
From Taylor Swift to Kacey Musgraves and Lorde, Jordyn has looked up to many country and pop artists, placing herself in the both the country and pop genres of music. And of course Jordyn has her parents to thank for her success as well.
Through considering entering a singing competition show, such as The Voice or American Idol, Jordyn being too young decided to take her career as an independant artist instead. Her previous highlighting moments include performing alongside Montgomery Gentry, The Gatlin Brothers, Easton Corbin, Matt Stillwell, Sunday Best and headlining for the PRS Rodeo Tour.
During the summer of 2014 Jordyn began working on her first album teaming up with Grammy Award winner David Hall. With several co-writes on the album as well as songs from Nashville’s top songwriters who have a combined 35 #1 singles, the album proved to be of the most anticipated independent releases of 2015. Her album includes 11 songs and her single “Like Me Til' You Love Me.” Jordyn’s album “Southern Tide” earned a spot on Next Women of Country’s “15 Albums You Have to Check Out” and without a doubt deserves her spot on that list alongside Carrie Underwood and Cam.
In the future Jordyn plans to go off to college, most likely attending Belmont College in Nashville taking a major in music business. Jordyn also hopes to keep pushing her music out into the country music scene and is touring currently to spread her music to country fans across the nation.
