Ivor Novello-nominated multi-instrumentalist whose warm blend of soul, jazz and alternative R&B has taken him from Glastonbury to two sold-out nights at the Royal Albert Hall.
Born in New Zealand, raised in Australia and now based in London, Jordan Rakei is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer and songwriter who has spent more than a decade weaving soul, jazz and alternative R&B into something warm and unmistakably his own. Since his debut album Cloak (2016), he’s built a devoted following, with highlights including the deeply personal What We Call Life (2021) and The Loop (2024), which gave him his first Top 40 album and a Best Album nomination at the Ivor Novello Awards. Along the way, he’s collaborated with the likes of Loyle Carner, Tom Misch and Bonobo.
His reputation as a live performer is just as strong, with a slot on Glastonbury’s West Holts stage, his very own BBC Prom and two sold-out nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall all under his belt. A year as Abbey Road Studios’ first-ever Artist in Residence helped shape his seventh album, A Safe Place To Be Wild, which sees him strip things back and write with a more open, emotionally direct touch, while keeping hold of the rich, soulful grooves his fans love.
