A Berklee College of Music graduate and 2024 Boston Music Awards nominee for Singer-Songwriter of the Year, Jordan Maye blends raw storytelling with melodies that rise from whisper to wildfire. Her discography travels the space between heartbreak and healing. Built around the reverb of her Fender 12-string her music is equal parts introspection and release, capturing the moment when vulnerability turns into strength, inviting listeners to find themselves somewhere between the verses.

 

Jordan’s path to songwriting wasn’t some overnight revelation. It was a slow-burn devotion, lit early in her childhood home in Atlanta. She spent her formative years bouncing between piano, guitar, and voice lessons, quietly sharpening the tools she’d later use to craft her own sound. By high school, she was already cutting her teeth recording DIY demos and penning original songs.

 

A prestigious piano intensive at Berklee College of Music cracked open a bigger world for her, and even when the pandemic shut down campuses, Maye kept the momentum alive, enrolling remotely in a Berklee lyric writing course that only deepened her drive. It wasn’t long before she made it official, landing a spot at Berklee as a full-time student.

 

In 2022, Maye hit pause on school, taking a much-needed year to focus on her mental health. It was during this reset that she crossed paths with Eric Breiner, a producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist whose resume includes nearly 200 placements across film, TV, and major ad campaigns. Their first song together, “Tarot,” turned out to be the perfect match as Breiner helped shape Maye’s evolving sound. Maye returned to Berklee full-time, and together they forged the songs that would make up her debut album Creation of Jordan Maye (2024) and follow-up single “Tear It Down” (2025).

 

Creation of Jordan Maye is an expression of where she was at that time. It’s a collection of songs packed with towering guitars, powerhouse vocals, and raw, unflinching honesty. Maye pulls no punches, using vivid, poetic imagery to chart her journey through mental health struggles, juggling relationships with family, lovers, and friends, the rigors of full-time life at Berklee, and the deeply personal experience of transitioning.

 

Maye dipped into a more punk rock attitude with “Tear it Down,” capturing the spirit of rebellion, not externally, but internally by willing herself to forget the pain and trauma of heartbreak. Now, “The Puppeteer” is the first collaboration between Maye and Rebecca Soul.

Maye is enthusiastic about making a difference in the world through the music she writes, projects she takes  on, and the people she meets along the way. She believes in authenticity, truth telling, and inspiring people to find their voice.
