Early life
[edit]Nye's father was an organist at her local church. Upon being recommended by her father, Nye decided to take up an instrument, starting on violin before moving to guitar.[1]
Career

Titled Something to Say, the EP was released July 31.[3][4] The EP received four out of five stars from NME.[5] On September 15, Nye announced plans to release a follow-up EP titled To You.[6] The two EPs were combined to form Jordana's second full-length album, titled Something to Say... To You. The album was released on December 4.[7]
On October 13, 2021, Jordana released a collaborative EP along with the band TV Girl, titled Summer's Over.
