Career

Suecof was born in Connecticut, United States. Drums were an immediate attachment and rocked on to master all things musical beginning in 1983. He began the indelible processing of making sound matter. From the bass-driven beat of the Beatles to the radiating wail of the rock era, Jordan wound down Led Zeppelin, Billy Joel and The Who.

Graduation at 17, Jordan GPS'd his way to the Dirty South; first stop Orlando. His first placement came in 2005. At 21 he had a #1 Adult AC chart-topper that led to the Grammy-winning album The Breakthrough by Mary J. Blige. As the producer of "Take Me As I Am", the album also won a Grammy for Best R&B Album. That track also garnered an ASCAP award and major media buzz for Infinity as he took home the props for R&B Song of the Year. Atlantic Records took notice. Fast-track to Lupe Fiasco's album Food and Liquor. In 2008, Jordan co-produced "DayDreamin" which also won the Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Performance.

In 2009, Infinity Productions collaborated with the Backstreet Boys to produce "Shattered". This was followed by two productions for R Kelly: "Echo" and "Banging the Headboard". Infinity also produced the flipside to Ludacris' 2010 hit, "I Know You Got a Man", featuring Flo Rida. Ludacris' album, "Battle of the Sexes", achieved gold certification. The next notable collaboration for Infinity was with Ciara on tracks such as "Stilettos" and "Yeah I Know" featured on her "Basic Instinct" album.

Infinity wound up producing Jacob Latimore on Jive Records. Their first collaboration "Like Em All", immediately garnered over 500k views on YouTube. It became the official first single.

In 2014, Infinity has leaped major boundaries from the title track and single off Tank's album, Stronger to the Avicii album, Stories, in which he helped produce and write "The Nights". "The Nights" surfaced online where it hit number one on Hype Machine before being released via FIFA 15.
