Jordan says it took some time for him to hone the hip-hop-meets-R&B styling that prompted former Def Jam head Russell Simmons to dub him his “rap singer.”

"I had to carve out a path for myself that was a little different," Jordan says about his days prior to joining Def Jam Records. "I was listening to Guy. R. Kelly had just came out. I loved Luther Vandross and Michael Jackson. I was trying to determine what my voice was, and I found myself sounding like other artists. I started writing hip-hop lyrics and singing them. I got signed as a ‘rap singer.’"
