Early life and career
Jordan Nathaniel Marcel Knight was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, but holds American and Canadian citizenship. His parents are Canadian, his father is from Meaford, Ontario and his mother is from Dunnville, Ontario. He is the youngest of 6 children: Allison, Sharon, David, Christopher, and Jonathan. His father is an Episcopal priest.
Before fame, he played in a youth baseball league in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He was often called out by his teammates for his lack of athleticism, and was told he "throws like a girl". Knight dealt with bullying throughout his childhood and during his early teen years.
Jordan was almost 14 years old in 1984 when he joined New Kids on the Block, a band assembled in Boston by producer Maurice Starr. His fellow members included his brother Jonathan Knight, as well as Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood. Over the next few years, he began writing songs and teaching himself piano and keyboard instruments. Starr, who wrote much of the New Kids material, was reluctant to add his work to the band's repertoire.
New Kids on the Block have sold over 80 million records worldwide, generated hundreds of million of dollars in concert revenues and paved the way for later boy bands like Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. New Kids on the Block disbanded in 1994, but reunited in 2008.

He was also nominated for Favorite Male Singer at the 2000 Kids' Choice Awards. The single also peaked at No. 35 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The album Jordan Knight won an Aspire Music Award for Best Male Album (Pop). Knight's self-titled debut album was then certified gold for sales of over 500,000 copies in the US on July 7, 1999. The album peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 and No. 9 on the Top Internet Albums chart. In 2008, the New Kids on the Block reunited and released 2 top 40 hits and went on a successful tour.
