Jordan Davis is from a very musical family. His brother Jacob Davis is a singer-songwriter, his uncle Stan Paul Davis is a celebrated songwriter (Tracy Lawrence, Ken Mellons) and his father used to write songs, as well. Growing up, Jordan would listen to songs his uncle would play for him, and he dreamed of going to Nashville to write hit songs.
“Growing up in a musical family – my uncle was a songwriter and had songs written for Tracy Lawrence, and I can remember us celebrating his first-ever number-one, and that was a country radio number-one. I feel like I fell in love with songwriting because of the songs that he would play coming back for holidays – Christmas, Thanksgiving,” says Jordan.
Jordan has several number-one songs, multi-platinum records and awards, but he still loves hearing his songs on country radio. “I moved to Nashville to have songs on country radio, and still to this day, there’s no better feeling in the world than driving around with my kiddos and Dad comes on the radio,” he says. “You don’t have to go to it, you don’t have to click on anything. You’re driving around listening to Carrie Underwood, then all of a sudden, a song that you wrote, that you’re singing, is coming through the car speakers on country radio. That’s something that will never get old to me.”
Jordan is currently on country radio with his latest hit, “Tucson Too Late,” which he co-wrote with his brother Jacob and brothers Josh and Matt Jenkins, the same dream team behind “Buy Dirt.”
