Dexter Jordan has spent his entire life exploring and expressing through music. The warm reception of his first solo, “Silent Night” at 9 years old for the 5000+ member congregation of Mt. Zion Baptist Church (NC) opened Dexter’s eyes to the possibility of more for his gift. As Dexter grew into his voice, he encountered more and more opportunities to share it; at 14, Dexter won first place at Amateur Night at the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem, NY. In 2012, Dexter performed at Carnegie Hall with his high school choir and received runner up for a solo performance. Three years later, Dexter released his first single, “Hennessy” which gained widespread acclaim when Dreamville Records artist, Ari Lennox, discovered the song and shared it with her fans. 
 In 2016, Dexter’s beloved mother and first teacher of unconditional love, passed away from breast cancer, propeling Dexter into a hiatus in every area of his life. In early 2018, only a few months after Dexter began planning to record more music, Dexter received the news of the passing of his brother-friend, KJ. This moment punctuated the urgency of capturing and memorializing the moment of grieving and healing that had become inescapable for him. As he worked to record his first album, his “Hello, New Me” was discovered and shared by Grammy-Award winning artist, Yebba. 
 Dexter has since released his debut album, Blue, which delicately unravels layers of grief, growth, coping and resilience through masterful musicianship.
