Some artists find their calling early in life. Such is the case with breakout art-pop, multi-instrumentalist and San Diego native Jordan Cantor, who goes by the moniker Somme. After teaching herself guitar at age 6, Jordan was well on her way to writing songs only a few years later. Not content with guitar alone, she mastered drums and bass by 12 and in high school graduated to performing in a local indie-rock band Traffic Bear.

After briefly studying at NYU, Jordan moved to LA and reignited her creative fire which led to the creation of her art-pop persona, Somme. Drawing inspiration from idols like Robyn, Fleetwood Mac and Lorde, Jordan entered the studio in 2017 to record her debut, self-titled EP. After a year and a half of writing and recording, she emerged, fully embracing her new identity Somme, with a stunningly beautiful record that melds mesmerizing pop hooks, soul-gripping vocals and moody electronics.

In October 2018 she followed up the release of the EP with the infectious single and video “Broken Hearted Lovers” on the Atlantic Records subsidiary Taste and Tone

She recently released the first couple of singles from her first full length album, which will be released in early 2020. She’s taken the time over the last year of writing tp experiment with new producers as she’s previously self-produced all of her music. Through doing so, she has felt more liberated to try different approaches sonically and lyrically which has set up her new record to be her most exciting release.
