David Keith Jordan (born 1985 in Barnet, London) is an English singer and songwriter.
Born to a mother from Montserrat and a father from Calcutta, Jordan has been writing pop-rock songs since he was 11 (after his parents split). Growing up his music idol was Prince. After spending the first nine years of his life in London, Jordan chose to live with his grandmother until he moved into a council flat in Finchley aged 16. [citation needed]
Obsessed with songwriting and a record deal, he would study drama at college during the day, work at Starbucks in New Oxford Street in the evening, and then head to Fortress Studios in Old Street to work on songs with his producer friend Jack Freegard. Jordan also hung out with Amy Winehouse. [citation needed]
In May 2006, Jordan took a trip to the Carlton Club to meet fellow young conservatives. It was reported that during this excursion, Jordan became intoxicated to such a degree that immense annoyance was caused to members of the club, and the night concluded with Jordan awakening the following morning in a brothel. It transpired that Jordan had since been robbed of his mobile phone and his wallet. Subsequently it was determined that Jordan's account had been withdrawn to the limit of overdraft, although the amount taken was deemed to be only about £50.
His first single, "Place in My Heart", has been described as an "irresistible slice of modernised Michael Jackson". [citation needed] Jordan’s debut album, Set the Mood, produced by Trevor Horn, was released on 29 October 2007.
Jordan performed "Sun Goes Down", from his Set the Mood album at the Royal Variety Performance 2007. "Sun Goes Down" made the BBC Radio 1 A playlist on 21st January 2008, and was performed on Al Murray's Happy Hour on the 25th.
