Montell Jordan Releases New Memoir & Returns To R&B

montel jordan*Former R&B superstar Montell Jordan stepped away from his career in mainstream music in 2010 to become a Worship Minister at Victory World Church in Norcross, Georgia. The “This Is How We Do It” singer first hit the scene in 1995, and has since released seven R&B albums. Now he’s back with a new book titled, “Becoming Unfamous: The Journey of ‘How We Do It’ To How He Do It.”

Jordan has been candid in previous interviews about how his promiscuous lifestyle and extramarital affairs are part of the reason why he decided to walk away from his R&B music career. Montell, who was featured in a recent episode of TV One’s hit documentary series “Unsung,” grew up a “church kid” and was drawn back into ministry once he decided to step away from the music business.

“I moved completely away from R&B for a season because I did not transition from R&B to Gospel, but from the music business into ministry. My journey transcended genre change as I embraced full-time ministry,” he expressed to AlwaysAList.com.

After dedicating five years solely to Jesus and the scriptures, Jordan decided to start taking select performance dates again.

“In 2015, I returned to performing some of my hit songs to have access to longtime Montell fans in efforts to reintroduce them to the new Montell,” he explained.

The 47-year-old singer/songwriter/producer said that he looks at the music industry differently now that he’s committed his life to ministry.

“Music doesn’t define me; I define music. Music doesn’t make me; I make music. I now know who I am because I know whose I am,” he acknowledged.

In “Becoming Unfamous,” Jordan opens up about his journey from sinner to saint, and what led to his new insight about the music business. Available now as an eBook, the entertainer also shares his rollercoaster ride through fame; as well as his “how to” secrets on maintaining success in the industry. Additionally, he offers readers tips on how to walk their own path with clarity and purpose.
