Career
editIn June 2014, Eminem's 'Not Afraid' (co-produced by Jordan Evans) was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), surpassing 10 million copies.[2]
The Instrumental for Drake's Single 'Pound Cake' (produced by Jordan Evans and Boi-1da) spawned a series of remixes and freestyles by many artists including Raekwon, Lupe Fiasco, the LOX, Meek Mill, Skeme, and Childish Gambino.
Evans, in collaboration with fellow producer Matthew Burnett and recording artist Daniel Caesar, founded Golden Child Recordings, an independent Canadian record label. Together, they achieved monumental success, marked by multiple sold out world tours [3] and Platinum-selling singles,[4] boasting billions of streams worldwide.[5] Their visionary approach to music production and artistic expression earned them not only commercial acclaim but also critical recognition, with multiple Grammy and Juno awards & nominations.
In 2018 Evans won the Juno Award for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year for Caesar's debut studio album, Freudian.
In 2021, Evans won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Live Entertainment Special for his contribution as creative director to the 2021 Juno Awards televised broadcast.
