Jor’Dan Armstrong is what is missing from gospel music today. He comes equipped with a new sound for a new generation that has its own way of expressing praise. As a middle school music instructor and co-founder of a music non-profit organization, Armstrong witnesses on a daily basis how music can impact lives. He hopes that his debut album, “Champion,” will do the same.

Jor’Dan Armstrong is a 23 year old native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He attends Times of Refreshing World Outreach Ministries under the leadership of Dr. Calvin N. Emery. Armstrong is an outstanding vocalist and percussionist who has been performing since the age of five. Over the years, he has perfected his gifts by playing in various music departments throughout Louisiana. Armstrong has expanded his musical range by showcasing his vocal, production and songwriting talents on “Champion.”

“Champion” outlines a dynamic testimony of struggle and triumph, which ultimately highlights Jesus Christ as being our definitive Champion. This album depicts everyday situations that will appeal to the saved and draw in the lost, which is the ultimate goal. Armstrong strives to gain attention with his innovative sound and change lives with the message of salvation.

Jor’Dan Armstrong exudes creativity at its best! His “urban gospel music” sound offers a fresh perspective to many who have not been interested in gospel music before. However, his message is relevant and poignant enough to interest even the most traditional gospel music lover.

Imaginative and soulful best describes the multi-sound patchwork that makes up Armstrong’s sound. “Champion” begins with a proclamation of seeking God with the song “Where You Are,” which brings a pop appeal to worship. Listeners will be left spellbound with such ground-breaking hits as the hip-hop driven “Drive Me Crazy,” the alternative-rock based “Take It Away,” and the free-spirited “Glad I Got You,” all of which have contagious beats and an infectious message.
