Jordan Stephens (born July 18, 1997), known professionally as Jae Stephens, is an American R&B, pop, and dance-pop singer, songwriter, and producer from Dallas, Texas, now based in Los Angeles, California. Known for her bold, confident style and fiercely independent approach, she made waves at 21 with her self-produced debut EP, f**k it i'll do it myself (2019), where she wrote and produced every track. Inspired as a teenager by artists like Lorde—whose hit Royals sparked her first song—Jae built a dedicated following on Tumblr, amassing over 200,000 followers with covers and personal posts. After a two-year hiatus, Jae relaunched her career in 2023 through Raedio's creator campaign (Issa Rae’s label, partnered with Atlantic Records), securing a deal that led to her EP High My Name Is. Featuring standout tracks like What's A Monday and Come and Talk to Me (a Jodeci-inspired cover), the project racked up over a million streams, driven by fan support. In 2024, she signed with Def Jam as Raedio's first major artist, releasing SELLOUT featuring her breakout single Body Favors. Due to the critical acclaim of the first installation, in 2025, she released SELLOUT II. Beyond her own music, Jae has co-written for major artists like Jennifer Lopez (Rebound), Latto, Anne-Marie, and Blessing Offor (for his Grammy-nominated album My Tribe). She has also ventured into acting, appearing in projects such as All Over Again (2022) and Jennifer Lopez: Rebound (2024). Jae Stephens represents a new wave of R&B artists, blending fresh sounds, striking visuals, and a fearless approach to carving her own path in the music industry.
