Jordan Adebowale Adetunji (born 25 February 1999) is an English-Northern Irish rapper and singer. He gained recognition in 2024 with his breakout global hit "Kehlani". In 2023, Adetunji was scouted by Oli Sykes and signed to RCA Records. In 2024, following the rise in popularity of "Kehlani", Adetunji signed with 300 Entertainment and Warner Records UK.

Adetunji was born in Croydon, London. When he was 10 years old, his mother made the decision to move to Belfast because of how "quiet" it seemed in comparison to Croydon. Adetunji is of Nigerian descent. He attended Ashfield Boys' High School where he learned to play musical instruments, focusing on trumpet lessons.

He was influenced and inspired by Gary Moore, a fellow alumni of Ashfield. This led him to dive into Thin Lizzy's music. Later, he explored heavier bands like Static-X and found Joy Division through a video game, which led him to watch the Ian Curtis biopic.

His first major influence was Michael Jackson. He admired his ability to master any genre and this left a lasting impression on him. Other influences include Busta Rhymes and The Weeknd.
