“Five Minutes With” Toronto Singer / Songwriter Jordan Hart

The Gold-certified, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has worked with countless producers and arrangers over the years. Despite those incredible opportunities, no pieces of music truly felt like his sound.

Hart was still looking for what would be his musical identity when he met the AllPoints team. Through multiple conversations with his new creative team, he was advised to begin with a self-produced body of work, and after 6 months of blood sweat, and tears, he pieced together all the parts of himself and finally his sound.

Early bird or night owl?

Night owl

Road or studio?

Depends on the location of the studio! If it’s the most incredible studio in the world with a beautiful view of the mountains, I would choose that. But anything less than that, I’ll always choose being on the road playing for people.
