Биография

Originally from the small town of Lamar SC, Jordan Gray played in his first band at 15 and has played many different styles of music. “I grew up in the mixtape era, so I was influenced by anything from rap to rock to country to the hymns we were singing in church,” says Jordan. “As I have gotten older I’ve gained a lot more respect for songwriting. My songwriting influences are quite diverse and include the Eagles, Travis Tritt, Eric Church and Lil Baby to name a few.” Growing up in Lamar, Jordan always saw himself doing hard labor type jobs until he decided to take a shot at his passion. In 2015, he released his first EP, West of the Pines, named after the road he grew up on. Jordan wrote, produced, engineered and played every instrument on each track of the EP. Following the success of the song “Stay the Night”, amassing over 10 Million streams, he made the decision to follow his passion and move to Nashville. “Once I decided to pursue music as a career, I realized it’s either do this or live on the streets,” says Gray. “I’m going to be doing music my whole life, no matter what.”
