Jordan Feliz is a Dove Award-winning contemporary Christian pop singer and songwriter whose sound walks the line between classic rock, slick retro ’70s R&B, and modern pop. He achieved breakout success with his 2015 single, “The River” and 2016 debut album of the same name. He later topped the Christian chart with his second album, Future.

Feliz grew up in Clovis, California, and began his formal musical career with faith-based hard rock/screamo band A Current Affair in 2006. The band’s debut EP, Life in an Hourglass, offered a seamless screamo sound. It was followed by the Josh Auer-produced The Real Devastation EP in 2009.

Feliz left the group and relocated to Nashville in 2012. After a series of part-time jobs working as, among other things, a handyman to a valet, he became a church worship leader. In 2014, he was invited to participate in an unsigned artists’ retreat hosted by Centricity Music and was promptly signed by the label. He began recording his debut album in February with producers Colby Wedgeworth (Lincoln Brewster, the Main, Lydia) and Josh Silverberg (Newsboys, Plumb). They finished in July. His first single, “The River,” was issued the same month, and he also became a father that September.

Beloved
“The River” claimed the top spot on the Christian AC Songs chart and remained there for ten weeks. His Beloved EP was released in October and entered the Heatseekers chart at number 12, eventually earning the top spot and remaining there for eight weeks. The next single, “Never Too Far Gone,” was released in March, and landed inside the Top 20. Feliz’s debut full-length, The River, was issued in April 2016 along with the third single “Best of Me.” The album entered the Christian Albums chart at number four and subsequently earned the singer a Dove Award for New Artist of the Year. The EP 1 Mic 1 Take, a live acoustic session recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, arrived the following year. In 2018, Feliz returned with his sophomore full-length album, Future, which debuted at number one on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart. Two years later, he landed another hit with “Glorify,” a collaboration with TobyMac and Terrian, which was featured on his third album, Say It.
