Born in Bloomfield Ct, December 2nd 1983, Jordan was always interested in watching his father play drums. He Started actually learning to get an actual beat down around the age of 4 or 5. His brother Jason also started to play guitar at an early age, both interested in the same style of music (rock/metal). Together they formed a group. Jordan (12) Jason (16) started actually writing songs together. As Jordan grew older, he branched out into different styles of music. Still in the genre of metal/rock, he moved to Florida of 2000 after graduation of high school, his brother lent him his keyboard and thats when his ear for hip hop really started to become strong.

This was just the beginning of his many adventures. His first few groups Jordan worked with, were just mere stepping stones, he sold his very first tracks for 25$ a beat, not knowing how prices were setup. He sold 40 beats for $1000, and from that point on, he realized he could not only make good music, but money as well.

His first few beats ever made were on a Boss Dr-5, then moved on up to reproduce his tracks on a Roland XP80 his brother (Jason) gave to him. As months passed, he started listening to other producers for influence such as, Dr.Dre, Timbaland, Neptunes, Trackmasters just to name a few. Jordan Gained more knowledge on how to build his tracks, not just using hardware but using computer software as well.

In 2002 he figured he would add his insignia as Infinity, I have beats for days he says.

In 2003 he caught the ear of a BadBoy A&R named Damon Eden, now A&R at Atlantic urban division, Jordan always is being thrown projects and still working harder then ever. He also caught the ear of Folayan knight, who manages Needlz (piggy bank, let me in, Put ya drinks down, I think yall know)

In 2005 he started doing music for Models such as Vida Guerra, www.vidasworld.com, and Jennifer Nicole Lee on her new 2005 calendar dvd, and www.melyssafordonline.com

www.JenniferNicoleLee.com , he wants to tackle all sides of the music industry.

2006 should be a big year for him, with the release of the new Mary J Blige album, we hear now what Infinity can bring to the game.

Where are you from?

I’m originally from Connecticut, Avon Connecticut, small town, nothing to do.

How did you end up in Orlando?

Basically my brother and my sister moved to Orlando and I followed them after I graduated high school in December of 2000.

So was your older brother pretty much your musical influence?

To a certain extent, actually it was my father who started me on the drums when I was 4. My brother and I always had created music together. This was just an added bonus that he threw me his equipment to mess with. He started a studio called Audio Hammer; it’s more Rock/Metal then any other style. My Brother and I were in a metal group from the time I was 12 until I was about 17. We toured and everything, the whole 9. It just so happened that when he gave me his equipment, I started doing tracks right away. I sold 40 beats for $1000 , and they were sooo garbage, but after that point I told myself, not only can I make good money, but good music at the same time.

How did you meet Atlantic Records A&R Damon Eden?

That’s funny right there.  What happened was, there was this thing online called armusic1.com and  you pay like 60 or 70 bucks and basically you get some type of hook up with an A&R from a record label.  At the time Damon was working for Bad Boy and I paid 70 bucks to speak to someone from Bad Boy with like 20 other people on the phone.  It’s a big phone conference.  At the end of the call they go through this whole situation on what the industry is like.  At the end, you get to play them two or three tracks of yours.  The dude (Damon) heard my tracks and he went crazy.  As soon as the conversation was done, we had exchanged numbers and from that point on, we’ve just been real good friends. He has been a big help since day one.. 

Are you signed to Atlantic as a producer?

I’m not signed to anybody.  You can say I’m like a free agent.  I just happen to do a lot of things over at Atlantic,. My manager is actually Folayan Knight,  she is the one that got me on the Mary J Blige album. 

So your manager hooked you up with Mary J Blige to do the track "Take Me As I Am"?

Yea, Folayan hooked me up with that one.  I’ve known her for a couple of years now.  One day out of the blue she just hit me up and said “ I need a session right now, Mary J wants this record right now”. I had a damn courier service come to my house on Sunday, and they flew the track to her that same day, (laugh).  That was in November of 2005.  Ever since then its been kind of crazy. 

"Take Me As I Am" was a crazy track on Mary's album. Being placed on an album such as Mary's, does it make you want to work harder to make even better tracks?

Yea of course, especially being that it’s her 3^rd single. Her album is at around 2.5 million sold   A track like that, was a pretty powerful.  It touched a lot of people. Not only did it bring you back to Jay-z’s Dead presidents because of the sample I used, but it had this feeling to it like we were connected to it, you know? , It was a huge song for women.  I had a lot of women come up to me and thank me for such a beautiful song and how it helped them out through hard times.  Its deep you know?  But , your only as good as your last track, so I’m just working harder and harder to make that next joint.

What's your relationship with new comer producers The Runners?

Those are really good friends of mine.  I’ve know Dru and Mayne for a few years.  I’m very proud of them.  Its about time they got their recognition, especially someone from the same city as myself. its incredible to see someone go from working in their studio to become the next big producers.   

Are you planning on collaborating with The Runners on anything?

Not now at least.  We stay friends and friends are friends and business is business.  We did things together before shit popped off for both of us, but it was just for fun.  But you never know, possibilities are endless. Other big name producers combine musical talents with each other all the time, so its not out of the question.

What's your ultimate goal as a producer?

I’m just trying to be that next go to guy.  Every artist in the industry has that person that they want to go to for that next hot single/sound, whether its Dr. Dre, Scott Storch, Timbaland.  I want to be that producer where that artists needs that Hot Infinity sound.  Ultimately I don’t want to be just that “producer”. I want to be a brand, and that’s how you stay in this industry. I'm building it, just wait and see.

Are you the type of producer where you want to be in the videos?

Really, it’s the labels choice right now.  Since I’m new I really don’t have the leeway to say that I want to be in the video but I wouldn’t mind being on the set.  I would like to be in tuned to what is going on with the situation.  But for a club type song, I’d love to be in the video but not really a slow jam.

What can we expect from you?

I worked on a new artist at Atlantic Records.  Her name is Bayje, she is 17 and raw. I did her first Single called “Jealous Of Your Whip”.  The joint is fire, and I did another joint on her album called “Give Up” which is a crazy rock record. If any of yall picked up Lupe Fiasco's album, I did the drum programming for “Daydream” and I also did a track on another artist named Lil Peedy, who is also on Atlantic records. I did a hot a little joint for Treal out of Orlando, Called “You so Right” which is a definite club banger!
