If you haven’t heard of Jordyn with a Why yet, that’s about to change. 🔥

The rising Kiwi artist is blowing up online after her stunning Te Reo Māori cover of Man I need by Olivia Dean went viral and plot twist…

Olivia Dean herself even saw it. 👀Fans are now fully manifesting a live collab when Olivia tours later this year.

Jordyn’s music blends soulful pop with both English and te reo Māori, creating a sound that feels fresh, powerful, and uniquely Aotearoa.

Tracks like Brown Melodies and Raumati have already put her on the map, while her 2024 album Hibiscus Moon, Love & Justice showed just how special her voice really is!

Check out one of her latest singles below 😍

With vocals like that, it’s no surprise Jordyn with a Why is quickly becoming one of the most exciting artists to come out of Aotearoa right now. If that Olivia Dean collab actually happens…

we’re calling it early. 🎤✨
