Award-winning cellist, vocalist, composer, songwriter and producer, Jordan Hamilton is equally equipped to perform Bach, reimagine Chick Corea, or bow a Drake top line. From his love of the cello's tone to his passion for exploring new sounds and improvisational collaborations, his shows invite audiences to inquire the soul with a bit of bounce and groove.Bio: Jordan Hamilton is a boundary-breaking cellist, songwriter, and vocalist whose eclectic fusion of hip-hop, soul, R&B, and classical music defies categorization. Based in Kalamazoo, Michigan—halfway between Detroit and Chicago—Hamilton began his artistic journey producing and composing music that challenges the conventions of traditional cello playing. His innovative approach showcases how the cello can play chords, layer melodies, and seamlessly integrate into film scores, hip-hop, and pop songs.
His latest release, Project Freedom, via Mello Music Group, invites listeners into a sonic realm reflecting his evolution as both an artist and storyteller. The project explores themes of home, dreams, losses, and love, with lyricism rooted in introspection and personal growth. Hamilton’s work expresses wisdom earned through life’s challenges, offering a pathway toward greater freedom and self-understanding.
Known for his dynamic live performances, Jordan collaborates with musicians across jazz, hip-hop, and folk traditions, enriching his sound with diverse influences. Whether performing solo or with his trio ‘Help From Friends,’ he offers immersive showcases, blending cello and beats loop-pedaled live. Seamlessly transitioning between Bach suites, soulful R&B ballads, and hard-hitting hip-hop rhythms, his performances highlight both technical mastery and emotional depth.
Beyond music, Hamilton leverages his platform to promote social causes and community empowerment, using art as a tool for change. Driven by a vision of inclusivity and compassion, he strives to foster connections that inspire others to imagine and create a better world.
