As a young child, she sang songs for Japanese tourists in Interlaken. With this musical background she won the German Grand Prix der Volksmusik in 1998 with the song "Das Feuer der Sehnsucht". Jordi subsequently became a star in Switzerland with chart success singing mostly in German and leading to golden records and tours throughout not only Switzerland, but also Germany and Austria. She hosted two TV shows at the ARD. In 2002, she represented Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Tallinn with a French language song "Dans le jardin de mon âme".[1][2] In autumn that year, she made a solo tour with her band in Switzerland.
