Jordan Jansen (born March 12, 1998)[1][2] is an Australian pop singer from Gold Coast, Queensland.[3][4][5]
In May 2010, Hollywood Life called Jordan "the latest pride and joy of Australia", following his appearances on Australia's Got Talent and sudden rise to popularity online.[6]
Jordan has more than half a million followers on Twitter and a fan club of devotees who call themselves "The Jordaneers".[7][3]
As of March 2013, his music video of the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah" has over 4.5 million views on YouTube.
Although Jordan has been called "the new Bieber"[4] because of his age and looks, he cites Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson as his biggest musical inspirations.[6][5]
