Jordi Baizan Is Making a Scene

Published: Nov. 17, 2019, 3:09 p.m.

Jordi Baizan is a first generation American and native Texan songwriter. He is multicultural, born in Houston to Spanish and Cuban parents, and married to Carmen who hails from Mexico. Jordi is also a multi-tasker, writing songs and managing his flourishing music career in the same home-office where he runs his small business, which helped he and Carmen raise their two girls and two boys. Now that the kids are away at college and beyond, the empty nest at home has provided Jordi the opportunity to take his music on the road.

In May of 2017, he released his first record as a solo artist. This record, appropriately named Like the First Time, and some of the songs on it enabled Jordi to be recognized by two prestigious Texas songwriting competitions, the Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition and the Songwriter Serenade Competition. Jordi continued writing new material with his next record in mind. These newer compositions garnered him recognition by the Songwriter’s Serenade for the 2nd year in a row as well as the 2019 South Florida Folk Festival’s Singer/Songwriter Competition, and the 2019 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition.
