Reflecting on his rise so far for the Amazon Music Breakthrough UK: 2025 Artists To Watch list, in collaboration with NOTION, Jordan Adetunji is the audacious new voice redefining the landscape of contemporary music.
Hailing from London, singer-songwriter Jordan Adetunji soared to fame with the virality of his earworm track ‘KEHLANI’, where he sampled Summer Walker’s ‘Over It’. Since then, he has amassed a dedicated (and well-deserved) following, earning acclaim for his emotionally charged lyrics that resonate deeply with fans.
A meteoric rising star, Jordan’s success booms with each single he releases. ‘Too Many Women’, featuring fellow NOTION cover star kwn and the remix of ‘KEHLANI’, with the one and only Kehlani, have charged the singer to sign a record deal with 300 Entertainment and Warner Records UK. It’s his journey so far and the vulnerability he brings to his music that draws you in, Jordan cultivates a sense of community that transcends mere fandom. As he continues to push boundaries and redefine norms, Jordan Adetunji is undeniably a force to be reckoned with in the ever-evolving music scene.
