Gordi (born 28 December 1992) is the stage name of Australian folktronica singer/songwriter, Sophie Payten. Gordi is based out of Sydney, Australia, where Payten currently resides. Payten hails from small town Canowindra, (population 2,381) in the central northwest of New South Wales. 

Gordi 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 project Unearthed. After gaining some traction on the Australian music scene, and some radioplay on both Triple J itself and independent, not-for-profit Sydney community station FBi, Gordi 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. The EP was written entirely by Payten, collaborating with producers and mixers Ben McCarthy, Alex Somers and Francois Tetaz. Gordi was also nominated for the 2015 Unearthed Artist of the Year J Award from Triple J, the 2015 Next Big Thing SMAC (Sydney Music, Arts & Culture) Award from FBi Radio, and was dubbed one of the 40 best new bands of 2016 by Stereogum.  

Gordi typically plays with a full band, varying between a three and five piece, joined on stage by a drummer and a synthesizer/keys player, and often an extended brass section, while the front woman herself takes care of vocals, guitar, keys and samples. She has opened for the likes of Bon Iver, Of Monsters and Men, The Tallest Man on Earth, Highasakite, and recently announced an Australian support tour of Icelandic artist Ásgeir. Payten also sang backing vocals for Bon Iver on his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in September 2016.

Gordi began 2017 in Iceland and the United States to finish work on her debut album, which is expected to be released later this year.
