Meet Jordan Gray

We recently connected with Jordan Gray and have shared our conversation below.

Jordan, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
The truth is, I’m still working on it. The confidence I’ve instilled in myself this far comes from seeing my ideas come to life, and support I get from the fans of mine. My first single started as an thought in my head. I produced, wrote, and recorded that idea to life. I went to make a video for it, and now I’m performing it live. For me, that’s where my confidence comes from. Making things happen on my own, and seeing the impact it brings.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I go by Gray. It’s my last name, my families name. I like to think I’m carrying it on my path to success.

I’m an artist, musician, producer and brand owner from California. I’m working on myself, my relationships, and finding balance within my life while trying to stay focused. I communicate all of that through my music. That’s my brand.

I just released my first single in a very long time off of my upcoming project, and I have another one coming out on the 10th of November. If you relate to anything I said before, I’m confident you’ll find some part of yourself in my music.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
At this point in my life, I’ve realized the key to continuing on your journey is patience, persistence and detachment.

It’s cliche, but I had to learn to really trust that things will happen in due time, as long as I kept going. Looking back, I’m glad I’ve been able to grow.

Most importantly though, in order to truly commit to what you’re pursuing, you need to be able to detach from it. Burn out is a real thing, and people I’ve seen first hand dedicate their entire life to their goals have lost themselves in some way, even if they end up at the finish line. Taking time to step away from things has been essential to my progress as an artist, and a person.

Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?
I think I made a mistake by putting out my music before introduce myself as an artist and where I’m coming from. So I wouldn’t say a challenge, more so a misstep that I’ve learned from and working on correcting. This next phase will be reintroducing myself, and establishing who Gray is.
