Biography:

Natural talents like Jordan Grizzle's come just once or twice in a generation. At only 16 years old, this singing, dancing dynamo is reminiscent of fabled kid prodigies Michael Jackson and Chris Brown.

Since the age of three, the talented Fort Lauderdale native has been singing and imitating performances for family and friends around the house. At 5, Jordan discovered that he could sing. And he did... a pretty good job at it. By the first grade, Jordan had developed a serious discipline for the craft of music. He taught himself different sounds and runs by studying videos of different artists.

In 2007, at the age of 13, Jordan finally decided to officially pursue a career in music. With the support of his parents, he teamed up with local producers to record his first song, "No More." Several people caught wind of the song and immediately began labeling him "the next kid star" – and he hadn't even performed in public yet!

Still, the buzz continued to build around the city, especially as Jordan began performing at schools, outdoor events, and churches. However, his career really took flight when he began posting videos of him singing on YouTube. He has gotten millions of views since that first video and is known as "the little boy on YouTube," "Mr. YouTube," and "that cute little kid."

Jordan indeed loves to sing, but he admits he's drawn to good dancing and writing. "When I watch a singer with good dancers, I can't pay attention to the singer because I'm always interested in looking at the dancers and processing their lyrics," he says.

It's Jordan's natural balance of both dancing and singing that leaves quite an impression when he performs. The 16-year old has appeared on various BET shows like The Bobby Jones Show, 106 and Park, and Rip The Runway. His performance skills attract the attention of many and are truly helping him to make his mark in the music industry.

When he's not recording, making crows go crazy or making YouTube videos, Jordan manages to be a normal, down-to-earth 16-year old. He's looking forward to starting his first album and enjoys writing, studying other genre’s of music, running, and school. He also dreams about one day having a career that's on the level of his favorite stars -- Lauryn Hill, Jazmine Sullivan, Usher, and Chris Brown, knowing that one day his dream will be a reality.

When asked “What makes you different from other teen singers,” Jordan replied saying; “Being Jordan Grizzle is what separates me from the rest of the young singers. I am 16 but I have a sound unlike any other teen my age. I have a very soulful voice that's very jazzy and yet powerful. I am very to the point and I am about my music. I love to sing, but I also write. I have a young, fresh, new face to bring to the table and I am my own gimmick. If I couldn't sing I really wouldn't know what to do. Music is my outlet for feelings and entertainment and it keeps me sane. My music shows love, peace, serenity, and it’s real. That's what I represent and why I’m not your average teen.”
