“I was always singing (at home, school), always, but I chose to keep it to myself-may be because at the time I was not confident enough to sing to an audience. I enjoyed it.”

Jordan stepped onto the show bizz gush in 1997 when he first Jordan stepped onto the show bizz gush in 1997 when he first recorded his demo at The Savoy Hotel in Ndola with a band known as The Ukwa Band. After huge applauses and credits, Jordan decided to trek to Lusaka for greener pastures where he met one of Zambia’s well-renowned rap artists MC Wabwino at the Heritage Studio. It was at this point that JK was showcased when he featured on MC Wabwino’s popular album Yamene Yamene.

“In 1999, I felt it was time to move on and create music and this prompted me to team up with a very good friend, Kelvin Mwesa and together formed a group called New Age and I became the lead vocalist. Initially, our intentions as New Age was to produce a gospel album but then we conscripted our sound engineer and producer Sebastian Mutale and decided to change the whole gospel concept to something more secular instead. We released two albums; our well renowned debut ‘Biyoyo’ and ‘Chikokoshi’, which did very well too.”

During the year 2000, Jordan also worked with the all-boy group Just Close and sang with them on their smash hit Twamilumbanya, which was featured on thr Rhythm Nation Project.

Greatest desire: To win a Grammy.

JK’s unblemished voice also features on Shatel's debut album Chikondi on the hit song Naitopela that has dominated music charts all over. He also wrote and produced the track Tamwagupile.
