Background

Jorden Kyle Lanier Thorpe, a.k.a Pardison Fontaine, was born on December 29, 1989, in Newburgh, New York, into a Christian family. He went to the Soul Saving Station Church four days a week. This part of his identity was crucial in his childhood. Although during this stage of his life, he already had an approach with the passion that would fill his life a few years later, Fontaine was a member of his church choir. A few years later, he started listening to Kanye after becoming obsessed with a D.M.X. mixtape. It wasn’t long before he started creating his rhymes himself. Fontaine was also a great athlete. He even earned a scholarship to continue his studies at Goldey-Beacom High School in Wilmington, Delaware, where he was expected to play Division II basketball. Still, Fontaine left his junior year unfinished by dropping out in the middle of the year.

When he started in the rap world, Fontaine adopted different influences to create his on-stage identity. His first big success was with Cardi B when they released 2018 the single ‘Backin’ it Up.’ The song reached the 40th spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In addition to this achievement, Fontaine has collaborated alongside huge names in the rap industry. To mention a few, he has co-written ‘Yikes,’ and ‘All Mine.’ ‘Ghost Town’ by Kanye West, ‘I Like It,’ ‘Bodak Yellow,’ ‘Up,’ and ‘Wild Side’ by Cardi B, and the remix of ‘Savage’ by Megan Thee Stallion.

‘Savage’ is not his only collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion. She is his musical and romantic partner and the mother of his first baby girl, born in November 2016. Fontaine lives in Paramus, New Jersey, quite close to his roots.
