Jordan Patterson is a 24-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer from the San Fernando Valley whose debut album The Hermit landed on The Fader’s Top 50 Records of 2025. Pitchfork has written that her singular voice “seems to propose a new paradigm” — and it’s hard to argue otherwise. Hailed by Spotify’s editorial team as a generational talent, Patterson writes from a place of radical honesty, her voice becoming the instrument through which shame, love, and contradiction collapse into something cathartic and completely her own.
Her debut release on Secretly Canadian, Songs from a Valley Girl, deepens that vision. Produced alongside Eric Van Thyne, John Debold (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Hozier), Henry Kwapis (Dominic Fike, Dijon, Selena Gomez), Kali Flanagan, and Mulherin the EP is as meticulously crafted as it is emotionally uninhibited. Patterson has shared stages with Cameron Winter, Folk Bitch Trio, and Jens Lekman, and will join Searows on their near-sold-out US tour this year before heading to End of the Road Festival and Pitchfork Paris and London.
