In early 2023, Astra went to Puerto Vallarta to unwind and seek inspiration for his songwriting. When he returned, Astra worked with collaborators Jhyve and Sascha to bring “Sunrise Roulette” to life. The sunshine and beaches on his trip deeply influenced the track, and is evident in the blissful rhythm and tropical groove that brings to mind images of being bathed in the golden glow of the sun.
A student of Soul and R&B, Astra has crafted a sound that blends the musical styling of Pharrell and Jamiroquai with subtle influences from Bruno Mars and SG Lewis, creating something uniquely his own.
Astra started his career at university, where he was making beats. Over the years, he produced for local artists but felt collaborations never moved fast enough. This impatience pushed him to become the artist we know today.
With half of 2024 behind us, Jordan is looking ahead to his forthcoming project, ‘Far Deeper.’ The EP is the second instalment of his three-part series that delves into themes of unpredictability, uncertainty, and committing to that leap of faith. Recently signed to Mind of a Genius Records (Zhu, THEY., Gallant), Jordan Astra is now on the brink of breaking out as the artist that he knows he’s always been.
