Jordan Parker, the pop sensation and Indiemono fan

Give us 5 emerging artists that you want to highlight for everyone to discover right now.

What is your current favorite/guilty pleasure/go-to playlist? (no pressure, it doesn’t have to be Indiemono’s)

Honestly, I don’t really listen to any playlist besides Indiemono’s.

You bring a mix of R&B and soul to the pop scene, if you had to name 3 artists that together, describe your sound, would they be? Example: Ella Fitzgerald + Bruno Major + Mitski = Laufey.

Your father was a front-of-house audio engineer for legends like Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder. What are the top three lessons you’ve learned from his experience?

The music business is rough, and nothing is guaranteed, stay focused on your vision, and don’t lose it.

Indiemono. Duh 🤷‍♂️

What’s your favorite… [musical guilty pleasure]?

Dashboard Confessional and Guster (thanks to my older sister).

Now, for the Spicy Round! 

A story that happened with a fan worth telling.

She came to a random show and was a little nervous, her opening line was “Jordan I’ve known you your whole life.” For some reason, I immediately played it off like we did know each other our whole life and I was trying to figure it out. She had to eventually say “Wait… I’m just a fan”…OHP!

Last one, your choice!

[What was your first job?]

Pumping gas and washing cars at Chevron. In Oregon, you don’t pump your own gas. That’s very Oregon lol.
