Jordan Davis had an amazing 2022 with a two-week No. 1 for “Buy Dirt,” featuring Luke Bryan, sold-out headlining shows and culminating with his first CMA Award for Song of the Year for “Buy Dirt,” which he co-wrote with his brother Jacob Davis and friends, Matt and Josh Jenkins. However, his proudest joy came from watching his one-year-old son, Locklan James (Lock for short), learn to walk and speak his name.
“You know, professionally 2022 was, even outside of the life of ‘Buy Dirt,’ I think we put a lot of other songs out that did amazing things and we did a headline tour that did really, really well,” says Jordan. “You know for me, that’s a huge gauge if we continue to go back to cities and play shows and the crowd grows, like that’s a good gauge of music connection for me. And obviously, the highlight being standing up on stage at the CMA Awards with my brothers, with my brother and two of my best friends in town, that was pretty amazing professionally. Personally, it was a busy year. We played a lot of shows, but obviously, my son, getting to see him kind of come into his own, start walking, calling me Dada, it’s gonna be tough to beat that in any of the years to come.”
Jordan is poised to climb to the top spot on the country charts with “What My World Spins Around.” Fun Fact: the song actually topped the Country Aircheck chart for one week over the Christmas holidays. The song is from his upcoming album, Bluebird Days, available February 17th.
