Jordi Webber

Jordi Webber (born 25 May 1994) is a New Zealand actor and musician. He came to prominence as a member of the boyband Titanium, which was formed in 2012 as part of a competition run by The Edge radio station. The band's first single "Come On Home" debuted at number one on the New Zealand singles chart. Titanium later became the first New Zealand band to have three singles in the chart simultaneously. During this time, Webber was named Cleo Cruiser Bachelor of the Year. He attended Rotorua Boys' High School, where he became head prefect and secured the Geyser Community Foundation Rotorua Boys' High School speech and drama scholarship. In 2010, Webber was runner-up in the Senior English section of the Ngā Manu Kōrero Speech Competition. He also appeared in a television advertisement for New World.

Career Music In 2012, Webber auditioned for a competition run by radio station The Edge to create a New Zealand boyband. He was selected along with Zac Taylor, Andrew Papas, Shaquille Paranihi-Ngauma, Haydn Linsley and T.K Paradza to form Titanium. Webber was 18 years old when he joined the band and he was the youngest member. Titanium's first single "Come On Home" debuted at number one on the New Zealand singles chart. Titanium released their debut studio album All for You in December 2012. They became the first New Zealand band to have three singles in the official New Zealand singles chart simultaneously. When the band went to the United States in 2013, Webber decided to stay in New Zealand. That same year he was named Cleo Cruiser Bachelor of the Year.

Webber left Titanium in 2014 and he pursued a solo music career. After receiving a funding grant from New Zealand On Air, he released his first single and music video called "I'll Be Loving You" on 30 September 2016. The following year, Webber released "Reasons", a song that helped raise suicide awareness. Webber later debuted a musical alter-ego named Waazzoo and The Vibes and he released a self-titled EP in 2020. His single "Juice and Lemonade" was released the following year.

Acting In addition to launching his solo music career, Webber also pursued a career in acting. Webber auditioned for the role in May 2016 and began filming in September that year. He described working on the show as "an awesome experience". Webber later filmed a pilot for an action television show set during World War I. That same year, Webber starred as Tric in the webseries Nevernight, an adaptation of the book of the same name by Jay Kristoff. He also appeared in the Polynesian sketch comedy show SIS, and comedy series Millennial Jenny.

From 2020 until 2021, Webber starred as Constable Cruz Kingi in the New Zealand rugby drama series Head High. Webber was glad of the chance to play a "multi-layered character", stating "There was a long time there where I was mainly going for teen roles in high school kind of stuff, which is cool, but I think, deep down, we all want to move into those older, more mature roles." Webber thought his character was both "relatable and approachable", while Kerry Harvey of Stuff believed Cruz was the show's "most culturally aware Māori character". Webber stars alongside Mercy Cornwall the romantic holiday film Mistletoe Ranch, which was shot in Queensland, Australia in early 2022. He was also cast in the Netflix interactive romantic comedy Choose Love, written and produced by Josann McGibbon.

In 2023, Webber joined the cast of Australian soap opera Home and Away in the recurring role of Kahu Parata.

In 2025, Webber joined the cast of the Starz series Spartacus: House of Ashur as a gladiator named Tarchon.
