When he was a young child, Jordon Ford’s mother took him along to church choir practice. It was his first regular exposure to music, and he took a liking to it.

Now a Barnegat High School senior, he got to appreciate other genres, too, and that is quite apparent on his soon-to-be released online album.

“The title of it is u and i. It’s named after one of the 10 songs on the album, about moving on past an old relationship,” Ford said.
