Biography
Jordan attended Pepperdine University in California, where he received a bachelor's degree in communication and became a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
Jordan's first single was the 1995 #1 hit " This Is How We Do It," which sampled Slick Rick's earlier Def Jam hit " Children's Story". Jordan followed up his success with " Somethin' 4 Da Honeyz", which peaked at #21. Later hits would include " Let's Ride" with Master P and " Talk Show" with Shae Jones in 1998 and " Get It on Tonite" in 1999.
Besides crafting his own material, Jordan has written and produced for other artists, including Christina Milian, 98 Degrees, Deborah Cox (" Nobody's Supposed to Be Here," 1998), and Sisqó (the number-one hit " Incomplete," 2000). The singer has had cameo roles in the films The Fighting Temptations
and The Nutty Professor
, and he performed on the documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown
. In 2003 Jordan left Def Soul and released the album Life After Def
on Koch Records and also appeared on the album of popular Croatian singer Nina Badric in duet "Ne dam te nikom" ("I'm Not Giving You to Anyone").
Jordan released his seventh LP - Let It Rain - on October 21, 2008. [1]
Jordan's song " This Is How We Do It" is used as the opening theme to Howie Mandel's hidden camera show, Howie Do It.
