Jordan, you’ve gone from working behind the scenes as an audio engineer for a Grammy-nominated artist to preparing for the release of your upcoming album Outside Again. What inspired that transition, and what has the journey taught you about the music industry?
Working behind the scenes gave me a front-row seat to how records are really made and how careers are built. Engineering taught me the importance of details, consistency, and professionalism. At the same time, I always knew I had my own story to tell as an artist. The transition happened naturally because I wasn’t just helping create records—I was creating my own music too. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that talent alone isn’t enough. The music industry rewards artists who can build relationships, stay consistent, and treat their career like a business while still protecting the creative side.
Your new album Outside Again drops on June 22. What does the title mean to you personally, and what do you hope listeners take away from the project?
Outside Again represents growth, confidence, and getting back out into the world after periods of doubt, setbacks, or feeling stuck. Personally, it’s a reflection of where I am in life right now—more focused, more motivated, and ready to show people what I’ve been building. I want listeners to hear the project and feel inspired to keep moving forward no matter what they’ve been through. It’s an album about enjoying life, staying ambitious, and embracing the next chapter.
Your music blends Hip-Hop and R&B with a strong emphasis on melody and storytelling. How have you developed your sound, and why is that combination important to your creative identity?
I’ve always been influenced by artists who could do both—deliver strong records while still making people feel something. As an engineer, I spent years studying different styles, vocals, and song structures, which helped me understand what makes records connect with people. The combination of Hip-Hop and R&B allows me to be versatile. I can bring energy, melodies, emotion, and real-life experiences into the same song. That’s important to me because it reflects who I am as an artist and gives me the freedom to create without putting myself in a box.
You’ve recently become a Celsius Ambassador and partnered with Revolt and 440 Artists for distribution. How are those opportunities helping you grow your brand beyond just the music itself?
Those opportunities have helped me expand my reach and position myself as more than just an artist releasing songs. Being a Celsius Ambassador allows me to connect with audiences through lifestyle and fitness culture, while working with Revolt and 440 Artists gives me access to resources and platforms that can help amplify my music and content. Today’s music industry is about building a complete brand. Fans want to connect with who you are as a person, not just the songs you put out, so these partnerships help me tell a bigger story.
Many aspiring artists are trying to build independent careers while balancing creativity and business. What advice would you give to musicians who are looking to create sustainable success on their own terms?
First, focus on becoming great at your craft. The business side matters, but none of it works without strong music. Second, stay consistent even when the results aren’t immediate. A lot of artists quit before their momentum has a chance to build. Third, learn the business yourself—publishing, distribution, marketing, branding, and networking. The more you understand, the better decisions you’ll make. Finally, be patient and think long-term. Sustainable success usually comes from years of work, relationships, and steady growth, not overnight moments. The goal isn’t just to go viral—it’s to build something that lasts.
