It feels like all of that hard work has come manicure,” he says over Zoom. “I got almost to fruition, and it’s really awesome. to the end of it, but I was like, ‘I need new nails,’ so we have new nails now.” In addition Who musically influenced you as a kid? to his manicure, Jordy also has a new album Younger childhood years was Avril Lavigne, out. His bop-heavy second full-length, “Boy,” Spice Girls and Michelle Branch. When I was in was released in April. The album’s first single, high school, Sam Smith. They were always very “Story of a Boy,” is a queer take on the nostalgic inspirational to me because I’ve always been a classic “Absolutely (Story of a Girl),” which was singer, and that was always really inspiring to a hit for the rock band Nine Days in the early me. Then as I got older, more so in this space 2000s. Twenty-three years later, Jordy’s version of my life, [queer pop artist] Fletcher’s a big has inspired a TikTok viral moment, as the trans inspo to me. I adore her. I love her boldness community has used bits from his reimagining and her lyricism and her performances and her to represent themselves and their own journeys voice. I’ve been listening to [openly queer pop in videos posted to the social platform. Though musician] Jake Wesley Rogers, who I adore. I Jordy now calls L.A. home, he’s originally from love Betty Who.

So when I moved to How does it feel to have this album out in the L.A., I was DoorDashing and Postmate-ing and world? barista-ing and side hustling and assisting and I just got off of a tour, so I can be at home and doing odd jobs that I found on Craigslist, just that feels so good.

So by the time I What song on the album are you especially graduated college, I was like, “This is what I want close to? to do, and I will do whatever side hustles I need From a songwriting perspective, I love to do to achieve this.” By then I was probably “Unburnable.” That’s one of my favorites off living in L.A. for three years, and then I was able the album. I wrote it with Madi Diaz, who’s an to quit my side job and do this full-time. incredible writer and artist, and this producerwriter, Mikey Reaves, in Nashville.

It just feels like some really real, honest which was a public high school that put a lot of storytelling. I love the way we phrased it and money into the arts program, which is really explained this weird feeling of not letting go of important. I know that that’s not the norm for certain items from a past relationship. I love the most high school programs around the country, way that we were able to craft and create that but we did “Rent,” “Chicago” and “West Side story.

Big, big productions.

What has it been like to experience the TikTok Big, big productions. We did “Phantom of the reaction to “Story of a Boy” from the trans Opera,” kind of crazy. Such talented people came community? out of my class, which was so cool. This musical Very surreal, very inspiring. I did not expect called “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling that this would become a song for the trans Bee,” that was a moment for me because I got community. That’s not what I anticipated. When to sing some fun, big songs. Then when I was in I first uploaded the sound, it was really just to college, I did “Urinetown” and “Shrek.” I did it compare the original version to my version for the first couple years in college and then I and to show people what I was doing with got to a point where I wouldn’t necessarily say the song. The second I saw the first video of a I would never do theater again — I think that trans person using the sound to showcase their would be fun to do in the future — but where journey from, this is the story of a girl to this is I was like, “I’m kind of just sick of auditioning.” the story of a boy, I was like, “Oh, this is cool I wanted to make my own stuff and do my own and this makes sense, and how did I not even thing and not have somebody tell me I can’t be think of this before?” Then it just caught on and something. I just got tired of it, so I shifted to more people started doing it. Then I started music and here we are. duetting it and showing my reactions to these And then you recorded “Mind Games.” How did you go from where you were to recording that album?

Before “Mind Games” came out, I put out my first song in 2018, and “Mind Games” came out in 2021. So there were many years of me putting out music. It was when the pandemic hit and TikTok really started happening for me that “Mind Games” started forming. My song, “Long Distance,” went viral and that was a huge steppingstone for me. After I signed my record deal, after that song did its thing, that was when I had my team looking at me being like, “I think we’re ready for you to do an album. Let’s do an album.”

In your eyes, how does “Boy” compare to “Mind Games”?

“Boy” felt more intentional. I think when I started writing the songs on “Mind Games,” I didn’t know I was making an album, and it transitions because I wanted people to one, became an album. I think “Boy” was more feel loved and seen, and I wanted to showcase about me getting older and being a little bit my love and also use my platform to lift these more reflective and still talking about my voices because the trans community is under specific experiences that I’ve lived over the past attack right now. It’s really a scary time to be

What’s the male equivalent to a Karen? Is it Matthew?! I feel like it’s a Matthew!

Social media needs to stop suggesting “people I may know” because I do know them, and I hate them.

Wherein making a website for a gay couple is participating in sin but selling guns to murderers isn’t?

I am very sensitive to my surroundings, and I was practically assaulted by the energy radiating from Monica at the front desk!

Anyone in advertising: My favorite colors are black, dark black, pastel black, off black, faded black, and light black.
