Career
Career
Jordy is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest singer ever to have a No. 1 charted single. He achieved this in 1992, at the age of four-and-a-half, with the song "Dur dur d'être bébé!" ("It's Tough to Be a Baby"). "Dur dur d'être bébé!" was No. 1 for 15 weeks in France, and was a dance hit across Europe, Brazil, Latin America, South Korea, and Japan. It landed at No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him the youngest artist to ever chart there. As a teenager, Jordy appeared on Season 2 of the French television show La Ferme Célébrités on 30 April 2005, making his first public appearance in almost ten years. He was named winner on 28 June 2005. On 28 February 2006, he released his first new single in 12 years, "Je t'apprendrai", and began performing with his band Jordy & the Dixies.
