Early Life
Jordan Cameron Stayton was born on June 17, 1994 in St. Louis, Missouri. His mother and his step-father raised Jordan in the city of St. Louis, Missouri before moving to Atlanta, Georgia for a better life. His family would soon relocate north to a small city out side of Atlanta called Dacula. Throughout trips back and forth to his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia and his native town of Saint Louis, Missouri his parents would play countless R&B and Hip-Hop classics. The music being played would create the love Jordan had for the art. His mother and uncle both had former backgrounds in music. His mother, a self-proclaimed singer and his uncle a lead guitarist and drummer in a rock band. Music was very present in Jordan’s life from birth which would lead to his interest in becoming a musician.

Jordan taught himself to sing by mimicking the songs he would hear his mother singing in their household. “I’ve always been around music since an early age. My mother used to be a part of a girl’s group in our hometown of St. Louis, Missouri and my uncle is part of a rock band (Concrete God). Growing up both my Uncle and my mother integrated music as a part of my life, so much that they probably did not even realize they were doing so. As a child, hearing my mother sing her favorite artists around the house such as Tony Braxton and Mary J. Blige, I would try to mimic the exact song she would sing. This would spark my interest in singing.” ”

Jordan attended Dacula High School in Gwinnett County. However, in 2012 Jordan would drop-out of high school to pursue his G.E.D. After completion of the G.E.D program, he would later attend college at Savannah State University only to soon drop out of schooling once more.
