Career


Payten began receiving both national and international attention after playing independently across Sydney whilst at university and releasing tracks online through government-funded national Australian radio station Triple J's Unearthed radio. Gordi was nominated for the 2015 Unearthed Artist of the Year J Award from Triple J,[3] the 2015 Next Big Thing SMAC (Sydney Music, Arts & Culture) Award from FBi Radio,[4] and was dubbed one of the 40 best new bands of 2016 by Stereogum.[5] Payten signed record deals with Jagjaguwar in the United States in February 2016 and Liberation Music in Australia in April 2016. Gordi then released her debut EP Clever Disguise in May 2016.[6] The EP was written entirely by Payten, collaborating with producers and mixers Ben McCarthy, Alex Somers and Francois Tetaz.

Gordi has toured with Bon Iver,[7] Of Monsters and Men,[8] The Tallest Man on Earth,[9] Highasakite,[10] and Ásgeir.[11] Payten also sang backing vocals for Bon Iver on their appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in September 2016.[12]

Gordi's debut LP Reservoir, released on 25 August 2017, was co-produced by Payten in part with Alex Somers in his studio in Iceland, Tim Anderson in Los Angeles and Ali Chant in New York City. On the album track "I'm Done", S. Carey is a featured vocalist. Payten is credited with singing backing vocals on S. Carey’s 2018 album Hundred Acres. She is also featured on "Postcard" from Troye Sivan’s 2018 album Bloom.

Throughout 2019, Payten worked at Prince of Wales Hospital as a doctor, after completing her medical studies at The University of New South Wales in 2018. In January 2020, Payten released her first single in almost three years called "The Cost", with profits going to the 2020 Australian Bushfire Relief. She also released a single "Indifferent" with Willaris. K, which appeared on his EP Lustre. Payten's second studio album Our Two Skins was released on 26 June 2020. The album, co-produced by Payten with Chris Messina and Zach Hanson, was recorded in a cottage on Payten's family farm in Canowindra. Payten's first single from the record, "Sandwiches", was released in February, followed by "Aeroplane Bathroom" in March, "Volcanic", in May, and "Unready" and "Extraordinary Life", both released in June. Music videos were released alongside all five singles.

In May 2022, Payten released a single "Way I Go" from her forthcoming EP Inhuman which was scheduled to be released on 15 July 2022.[13] It will be Payten's first non-remix, live, or acoustic EP since the release of Clever Disguise in 2016. Inhuman was delayed until 19 August 2022.[14]


Personal life


Payten has been in a relationship [15] with singer-songwriter Alex Lahey[16] since 2017.[17] In 2021 the two released a single, "Dino's", with a music video directed by Nick Mckk.[16]

Payten's 2020 single "Sandwiches" was dedicated to her grandmother after she died.[15][18]
