Early life
She was born in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England on 21 October 1989,[1][2] and moved to Wheatley, Canada at age 4 with her family.[2][3] Her parents were British Jamaican and her father was a musician.[2] She was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia at age 2 and was frequently hospitalized for the disorder.[2] She began making music when she was 16, uploading covers of R&B songs on YouTube after being inspired by Justin Bieber.[2]
Career
Record producer KLSH discovered Jordan through her YouTube videos in 2009.[2] The two collaborated on Jordan's first mixtape, Alien Phase, released in 2010.[2] This was followed by her 2011 mixtape Rojo[4] and 2012 mixtape Pressure.[5][6] Jordan released her debut album, 1021, in 2014.[7][8] She wrote and recorded the project in her bedroom after she moved to Los Angeles for her musical career.[1] Following the release of the album, she signed a record deal that she described as "toxic"[9] and fell into a "really intense depression" while continuing to deal with sickle cell anemia.[10][11] In the final year of the deal, she signed to Young Art, a label imprint run by record producer Tokimonsta.[3]
Following a seven year hiatus, Jordan released her second album, Play with the Changes in April 2021.[9][11] She released her album Through the Wall in September 2025.[12][13]
