[edit] Biography
[edit] 1991–2006: Early Life
Pruitt was born and raised in Loganville, GA.[3] She started writing songs at nine.[4] In 2006, she recorded a demo album that was eventually discovered by producer Keith Thomas. Shortly after, Pruitt was signed to Hollywood Records.[1][4]
[edit] 2006–2009: No Ordinary Girl and Permission to Fly
In June 2006, Pruitt's debut single, "Outside Looking In," was released to promote the Disney Channel TV film Read It and Weep. Her debut studio album, No Ordinary Girl, was released on February 6, 2007[5] and peaked at number sixty-four on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States.[6] Pruitt toured as the opening act on select dates of The Cheetah Girls 2006 tour and all stops on the High School Musical: The Concert tour, in 2006 and 2007.
Pruitt's second studio album, Permission to Fly, was released on August 26, 2008.[7] The album was essentially a commercial failure; both it and its singles failed to appear on any chart probably due to the fact that the first release of the album was released only at Limited Too stores before finally being given a more expanded release one month after.
In 2008, Pruitt performed with the Tour of Gymnastics Superstars in places such as: Columbus, Ohio, Des Moines, IA, and Indianapolis, IN.

Pruitt's third studio album is set to be released in 2012. "Don't Lose Yourself", written by the Jonas Brothers,[8] is expected to be a track. Pruitt confirmed via Twitter that she has recorded two new songs "Collide" and "Best of Me". In the summer of 2010, Pruitt performed two new songs, "Hey Shy Boy" and "Who's To Say", during her Make-a-Wish performance at the Grove LA and in St. Louis, MO.
Jordan also recorded the song, "Take to the Sky" for the Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure soundtrack and covered "This Christmas" for All Wrapped Up Vol. 2.
In February 2011, it was confirmed that Jordan was no longer under contract with Hollywood Records, but is signed to Jonas Records.[9] Pruitt premiered her song, "Shy Boy" on March 1, via Facebook and YouTube. It was later confirmed the version of "Shy Boy" released on March 1 was a demo version and it was only released for promotional use, however a real version of the song will be on her upcoming album.[10] In April 2011, another new song was leaked called "What a Feeling". It is expected to be on her new album.[11] On July 5, Jordan posted a preview of a new song, "Something's Gotta Give" on her YouTube account. In September, she confirmed that her new music will be released before 2012.[12]

Pruitt released a cover of "All I Want for Christmas is You" December 2011. It was planned to be released on iTunes, but for unknown reasons was never released. [16][17] The official music video of the cover was released December 5, 2011 on YouTube and shows Jordan singing the song in a Christmas-themed studio. [18]
