Post Description
Montell Du'Sean Jordan was born in South Central Los Angeles to Elijah and Delois
Jordan. Born into a Baptist family, Jordan attended his local church frequently as
a child, where his mother and father worked as deacons.
After graduating, Jordan started working for Williams Television Time, where he
helped make TV infomercials. In an attempt to jump-start his career as a musician,
Jordan invited his coworkers to see him perform at a showcase.
From there he made his first mix-tape and flew out to New York with producer
Russell Simmons of Def Jam Records. He signed to Def Jam in 1995, becoming the
second R&B artist to sign with the label.
Jordan's first single was the 1995 No. 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 No. 21.
Later hits included "Let's Ride" with Master P and Silkk the Shocker and "I Like".
He co-wrote, produced and sang back-up on Shae Jones's 1999 album Talk Show. The
Jordan single "Get It On Tonite" peaked at No. 4 in the same year.
Jordan is now a born-again Christian and used to work at Victory Church (formerly
Victory World Church) in Norcross, Georgia as the executive worship pastor.
