Born Jordan Alexander Ward on March 25,1996 in St. Louis, Missouri, Ward grew up singing and dancing around his neighborhood and school. He eventually became involved in musical theater in his adolescence and joined a dance studio to train in ballet, tap, jazz and hip-hop. Throughout high school, Ward honed in on dancing, booking under-the-table gigs and teaching classes to earn extra money. At 18, he moved to Los Angeles, and in his early 20s, he began touring as a backup dancer for artists like Justin Bieber and Becky G. “I was a young Black boy from the south side of St. Louis. First I started doing theater in the suburbs, then I started being the only Black boy at the dance competitions,” he says. “I wasn’t chasing those types of spaces, but I found a lane. I found a creative space where it was like, ‘This is my escape.’”
