UMG NashvilleNewcomer Jordan Davis can claim a bit of an edge over his brother Jacob, as he enjoys his first top ten hit with “Singles You Up.”
Other than that, the Louisiana natives are pretty similar: they both have record deals with Nashville labels, and they even studied the same thing in college.
“Me and Jacob both have degrees in Environmental Science,” Jordan explains, “so we worked for environmental companies. Jacob worked for one in Shreveport, I worked for one in Baton Rouge, both before moving to Nashville.”
“So, yeah, if we weren’t doing this… Jacob would probably be in oil and gas, and… Gosh, I don’t know what I would be doing,” he admits.
Jordan confesses his chosen major doesn’t really have many applications in country music.
“It made my mom happy,” he jokes. “That’s about the extent of it. But, erosion control and salt water contamination doesn’t find its way into country music songwriting a lot.” (AUDIO IS ABC 1-ON-1)
Jordan’s debut album, Home State, comes out March 23, before he heads out on the Life’s Whatcha Make It Tour with Jake Owen and Chris Janson in May.
