JWADI

Jordan David Miller, known as JWADI, is a Santa Barbara-based singer-songwriter and producer whose path through music has been anything but ordinary. A South Carolina native, his early songwriting helped a debut album reach #1 on the Billboard Reggae Chart, with one of his songs surpassing 100 million Spotify streams.

After stepping away from music in 2012 and battling addiction for nearly a decade, JWADI found sobriety and began rebuilding his life in late 2022. Within months, his first performances at The Fillmore (San Francisco) and Sugarshack Sessions (Bonita Springs, FL) signaled his return—the latter filmed live and viewed nearly a million times on YouTube.

Now three years sober, JWADI writes, produces, and releases his music independently. His albums All That Glitters (2023) and The Year of Subtraction (2025) explore resilience and renewal through a blend of soul, rock, hip-hop, and reggae. His forthcoming single “Dangerous” (out November 7, 2025) continues that evolution—a statement of clarity and creative freedom from an artist proving that starting over doesn’t mean starting small.
