Montell Jordan
Montell Du'Sean Jordan (born December 3, 1968 in Los Angeles, California) is an American R&B singer-songwriter and record producer. Jordan was the second R&B artist signed to the Def Jam label (following Oran "Juice" Jones) and became the main male artist on its Def Soul imprint until leaving the label in 2003.
Jordan attended Pepperdine University in California, where he received a bachelor's degree in communication and joined Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity.
Jordan's first single was the 1995 #1 hit single "This Is How We Do It," which sampled Slick Rick's earlier Def Jam hit "Childrens Story". Jordan followed up his success with "Somethin' 4 Da Honeyz". Future hits would include "Let's Ride" with Master P in 1998 and "Get It on Tonite" in 1999.
Besides crafting his own material, Jordan has written and produced for a number of outside artists, including Christina Milian, 98 Degrees, Deborah Cox ("Nobody's Supposed to Be Here," 1998), and Sisqó (the number-one hit "Incomplete," 2000). The singer has had cameo roles in the films The Fighting Temptations and The Nutty Professor, and performed on the documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown.
Jordan left Def Soul in 2003 and released the album Life After Def on Koch Records. A Christian, Jordan now appears on TBN...
