Angelina Jordan

Born and raised in Oslo, Norway, this singer has received widespread acclaim for the breadth, depth, and maturity of her vocal talent, which is notable given her young age.

Her music videos have received several billion views on YouTube and over 4 billion views on Facebook.

Her passion for music began at the age of one-and-a-half when she first saw Whitney Houston performing "I Will Always Love You" on YouTube. Whitney Houston, along with Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington, became her first major musical influences.

At the age of seven, she auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent, performing Billie Holiday’s "Gloomy Sunday." She won the competition, which drew record TV audiences.

Throughout her rising career, she has been featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People, and has performed on U.S. network TV shows such as Little Big Shots and The View.

In 2016, Avicii selected her to provide vocals for his worldwide Volvo commercial campaign, which featured a cover of Nina Simone’s "Feeling Good."

She has performed before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates and has contributed her talent to charitable causes including the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin, where she helped raise over 21 million euros for children and families in need.

She has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway, making her the youngest published author in the country’s history.

Based on a true story from when she was six years old, she met a homeless, shoeless girl. After talking with her for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage wearing shoes until all children in the world had them. Since that time, she has always performed barefoot in public.
