Meet R&B Songtress Rochelle Jordan

Working in the college music industry, I was introduced to Toronto singer Rochelle Jordan about four years ago when I previewed her meaningful single "Shot".  Also known by the moniker Rojo, the beautiful, big haired singer-songwriter has been connected to her Canadian counterparts, Drake and one of our personal faves, The Weeknd. Don't get it twisted though, this lady has been putting in years of work to get her music heard despite her obvious industry connections. 

Jordan began her stint in music like many promising artists, by uploading her songs to the almighty YouTube. After garnishing thousands of hits, she decided to pursue music full time with tours across the U.S., Cananda, and France. Her vibe is reminiscent of early Aaliyah but with a little more edge which is evident in her release aptly titled, ROJO, in 2011. 

Now living in the Los Angeles area, Jordan's 2012 project, PRESSURE, silently garnered critical success and many R&B enthusiasts hailed it as one of the best R&B debuts in a while. Still fighting to claim the notoriety of her peers like Jhene Aiko and Tinashe, Rojo is cutting her own path through the dozens of pretty R&B singers.
