Since winning Season 9 of “The Voice,” Jordan Smith has worked with music legend David Foster, producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, and singers Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith.
Now the Lee University alumnus can add Celine Dion to that resume.
Just hours after Dion debuted the video for her new single, “Ashes,” May 3 on “Good Morning, America,” Jordan posted on social media that he wrote the song.

Never doubt the power of hard work or the importance of small beginnings,” he said.
“Ashes” is part of the soundtrack to “Deadpool 2,” and according to entertainment industry teasers is integral to the plot. Smith wrote the love ballad with Petey Martin and Tedd T.
