Dexter Jordan

The son of a minister of music and Baptist choir alto, Dexter Jordan has spent his entire life exploring and expressing through music. At age 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. Dexter has since performed at DC and Charlotte Pride Festivals, been interviewed on Charlotte’s NPR station and has released his debut album, Blue, which delicately unravels layers of grief, growth, coping and resilience through masterful musicianship. Dexter hopes that his deep commitment to being his unapologetically black queer self in his music and life inspires others across the globe to do the same!
