Deep Down with Jordan Hunt

In this episode, I delve into the first song that I ever shared with the world, my magnum opus, The Sea. As you might gather from the title and the name of this podcast, I have a strong affinity to the water though this song is actually a love poem to my late Aunt, and could be counted as my first success story crossing over from the world of classical music to songwriting. I’ll be discussing back...

In this episode of Deep Down, I ask myself, what if it were fun? As I face an unusually busy spell, and anxiety creeps into the back of my head, I’m remembering recent joy, and wondering how to find that space and lightness, and realising, through some unpicking and deep thought and curiosity, can we navigate our way to the brighter end of the spectrum, without overthinking, and choosing the silly...

In this episode, I’m going to be delving into the second song from my debut EP Long Lost, Don’t Fly Too Far. It’s one of my most enigmatic songs that fits a brief whirlwind romance into only a few lines of song. I’ll be peeling back the layers behind the elusive protagonist, discussing how one lyric can inspire a whole piano part, and how a solitary break from teaching inspired a novel approach to...

In this episode, we’re diving Deep Down to ask a universal question 'what was I made for?’ Have you laid awake at night questioning whether you’re fulfilling your potential or answering your life’s purpose?

I delve deep into the music and provide some background and context to how and why I wrote it, and share the influences behind it. I reveal just how difficult it was to write, facing fears as a less-than-virtuosic violinist! For such a short piece, this...

My music pupils often ask me how much they should be practising their instrument and for me the answer is simple, and even though in my lifetime as a musician I’ve clocked up thousands of hours of practice, where has it led me? And what can we learn from th...

In this special Deep Dive episode, I delve into my first-ever official single release 'Mother' from my first EP 'Long Lost'. As you can imagine from the title, it was a labour of love, no pun intended! And from conception to release, it was a few years in the making. I’ll be discussing backstory, lyrics and relationships. I hope you enjoy this special deep dive episode of Deep Down!

In this, my debut introductory episode of Deep Down, I explore the pain of starting (again), why it's so difficult to make a start, and what happens when we finally do. I also reveal one of the most difficult episodes of my musical career so far and just how long it’s taken me to move on. New weekly episodes air on Tuesdays.
