Jordon Zadorozny (born c.1966 in Pembroke, Ontario)[1][2] is a Canadian rock musician and producer.[3] He is the singer and songwriter for indie rock band Blinker the Star.[4][5] He is best known for cowriting songs with Courtney Love in the late 1990s. Zadorozny has also appeared on recordings by Melissa Auf der Maur,[6] Sam Roberts,[7] Tara Slone,[8] and Mandy Moore.[9] He produced a number of bands in the Ontario area at his Skylark Park studios.[10] Jordon was a member of Canadian indie band Abbey with Sofia Silva from 2004 to 2008.[11] He has since reformed Blinker the Star and released the album We Draw Lines and his most commercially successful album, For Those About To Smoke Corn - We Salute You. Upon its release, critics were initially confused by the eclectic mix of distorted death metal, Jewish klezmer music and smooth jazz. Since 2021, Zadorozny has been performing live as a one man Culture Club tribute act in his hometown of Pembroke, Ontario under the name Caramel, Caramel, Caramel Chameleon, with ginger-bearded bearded DJ, DJ Panty Waste.
