Jordan Jansen (born 12 March 1998) is an Australian pop singer from Gold Coast, Queensland.[1][2][3]

In May 2010, Hollywoodlife.com called Jansen "the latest pride and joy of Australia", following his appearances on Australia's Got Talent and sudden rise to popularity online.[4]

Jansen has been called "the new Bieber"[2] and has more than three-quarters of a million followers on Twitter and a fan club of devotees who call themselves "Jordaneers".[1][5]

As of March 2018, his music video of the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah" has over 4.9 million views on YouTube.[6] As of March 2018, his YouTube channel as a whole has accumulated over 37 million views.[7]

In 2011, Jansen was signed by American record label Kite Records (Toby Gad) and Australian label Sony Music Australia, with David Sonenberg as his manager.[8][5] In late 2014, they parted ways and Jansen announced his upcoming EP to be released in the fall of 2015.[9]

On 31 May 2016, his EP Invincible was released worldwide.[10]
