Jordan Fish

Fish was born on 26 June 1986, in Reading, England. He grew up listening to soul music, such as Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross, because of his mother. He started getting into rock music at age 12 and played in a nu metal band at age 14, citing Deftones, Slipknot and Korn among his formative influences. When Fish was in college, he began exploring electronic music with a couple of friends. ==Career==

2010–2013: Worship In 2010, Fish was a member of the electronic band Worship, along with Tim Alexander, James Johnson and Tom Mayo, bedding live performance with electronic elements. Worship posted their first song onto YouTube titled "Collateral" in November 2010. Worship released their debut single, "House of Glass" in October 2011. An album titled Nothing Is Sacred, which contains songs recorded by Fish with the band between 2010 and 2013, was released on September 2, 2019. 2012–2023: Bring Me the Horizon In 2012, Fish began working with the rock band Bring Me the Horizon on their fourth studio album, Sempiternal. Oli Sykes was a fan of Fish's previous work and invited him to add some electronics on the album. Fish was named Keyboardist of the Year by Alternative Press following his work on Sempiternal. Fish felt that the band "had artistic freedom to explore different styles of music" because of this, helping to evolve the band's sound from metalcore towards a more experimental and electronic-driven direction. Their sixth studio album Amo was released on 25 January 2019. Fish again took up production duties for the band. Amo reached number one on the UK Albums Chart. Along with Bring Me the Horizon bandmate Oli Sykes, Fish worked with Halsey as a co-writer and co-producer on her 2020 track "Experiment on Me". This song was created for the movie Birds of Prey and appeared on the movie's soundtrack. On 30 October 2020, Bring Me the Horizon released Post Human: Survival Horror, an EP that was intended to be the first in a series of "Post Human" records. Fish took up a co-producer role with Oli Sykes this time, while Australian composer Mick Gordon made additional production contributions. Post Human: Survival Horror became the band's second number one album. In late 2023, Fish took some time away touring with the band, and on 22 December 2023, the band announced that they had parted ways with Fish; the split was described as amicable, with both sides expressing appreciation for their years of collaboration. Bring Me the Horizon released Post Human: Nex Gen on 24 May 2024, which featured contributions from Fish. 2023–present: Independent production and songwriting career After leaving Bring Me The Horizon, Fish transitioned into working full-time as a producer and songwriter. producing for both established and emerging artists, including Babymetal, Poppy, Halsey, Amy Lee, House of Protection, Architects, Good Charlotte, and S10. He has occasionally performed live with artists he has collaborated with, including S10. In 2023, Fish engineered "Theorem" by Puscifer from their album Existential Reckoning: Re-Wired. He worked with former Fever 333 members Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison for their project House of Protection, producing and co-writing their debut EP Galore, which was released on 13 September 2024 through Red Bull Records. Fish also worked with Architects around the same time, producing and co-writing the song "Curse", and "varying the energy and color of their sound"; While being interviewed at Download Festival 2024, British pop-punk band Busted revealed that they were working on new music with Fish. Fish made a surprise return to the stage on 15 October 2024, performing vocals as part of House of Protection's first show in London. Fish produced and co-wrote Poppy's sixth studio album Negative Spaces, which was released on 15 November 2024 through Sumerian Records. Fish once again worked with Stephen Harrison as part of the album's writing process. In 2025, Fish also worked with Good Charlotte around the same time, producing and co-writing the song "Rejects". ==Equipment==

While performing with Bring Me the Horizon, Fish used a setup called the Stormtrooper. The Stormtrooper was built around Apple's MainStage software, which was controlled by a pair of Arturia KeyLab II MkIIs and an Arturia BeatStep. Fish used the BeatStep for "a lot of one-shot button stuff" and playing sounds that would be difficult to re-create live. It also included some additional percussion. Before changing to the Arturias, he used various Nord and Akai keyboards. In a live session for Triple J as a member of Poppy's backing band, Fish used a much more scaled-down setup. He only used one Arturia keyboard and removed the BeatStep and additional percussion entirely. ==Musical techniques and impact==

Fish plays a number of instruments, but "never really felt tied to one." He cites Trent Reznor, Brian Eno, James Blake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day and Deftones as early influences on his guitar playing. He later switched to bass guitar because he felt that he wasn't "good enough on guitar." Before joining Bring Me the Horizon, he played keyboards in Worship. Once Fish joined the group, critics noted how he influenced the band's progression in sound and music production. He credits Radiohead as the band that got him into electronic music. Artists across the heavy scene have lauded the influence of Fish's production style on their music: Oli Sykes crediting Fish's work on the Bring Me the Horizon album Sempiternal as making Fish "one of the leaders in terms of composition". LouderSound calling the album “the most influential metal album of its generation", Dan Searle saying saying Fish "had something to prove coming out of [Bring Me the Horizon to work with Architects and we had something to prove to ourselves"; ==Personal life==

Fish lives in West Berkshire, England, and is married to his wife Emma, a former member of a Dutch girl/boy band XYP, who performed additional vocals on "Happy Song" from Bring Me the Horizon's album ''That's the Spirit''. They have two children. Fish and Sykes raised more than £50,000. In 2023, Eliot ran a mini-marathon to raise money for the same cause. ==Discography==
