Jordan was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System, where he thrived and was often a Center for Talented Youth eligible student. Jordan loved writing songs, skating at Shake-N-Bake and smiling, while spending time with his family and friends. He had a smile as bright as the sun. Jordan had a love for outdoors, peppermint candy and life. He was truly an outside baby from the age of two. At the age of twelve, Jordan was affectionately called "Streetz" by his friends. Jordan held his first job in the summer of 2017, working for Shake-N-Bake.
