Jordan Edwards-Wilks (born 6 June 1994), better known as Jords, is a British singer and rapper from Croydon, South London. His music style blends several genres, including grime, jazz, R&B, garage, house, and drill. Raised in a musical family, Jords grew up during the advent of grime music. He created and released music as a child, with his first tracks inspired by the local South London artists Krept and Konan. Jords began to release music on YouTube and released his debut mixtape, Means To An Ends, in 2016.
Jords signed with Universal Music in 2020. He released his debut album, Almost An Adult, in 2021, exploring themes of love and loss. Following the murder of George Floyd, he released the track "Black & Ready", gaining recognition and support from Ebro Darden and BBC Radio 1Xtra. In 2022, BBC Radio 1Xtra included Jords on their Hot For 2022 list. He signed to Motown in 2023, becoming the first British rap act to sign to the label. He released his second album, Dirt in the Diamond in the same year.
Outside of music, Jords co-hosts the podcast Almost a Conversation and established the Pickni Uniforms charity with his friend Jamahl Rowl. He served as the executive producer of the West End play PlayFight, which discussed racism's impact on black males in education.
