Who is Jordan Katembula?

Jordan Katembula is a Zambian musician.

J.K.’s full name is Jordan Katembula and he's a very popular Zambian vocalist, composer and producer. The fifth son of both a businessman and woman, Jordan was born in 1978 in Ndola, Zambia. His junior school was Chilengwa Basic School in Ndola and he completed his secondary education at Lubuto School, also in Ndola. Jordan started embracing music with his peers as early as the age of eight whilst in his fourth year of junior school. Jordan says : “I was always singing, always, but I chose to keep it to myself - maybe because at the time I was not confident enough to sing to an audience. I enjoyed it.” Jordan stepped onto the show bizz gush in 1997 when he first recorded his demo at The Savoy Hotel in Ndola with a band known as The Ukwa Band. After huge applauses and credits, Jordan decided to trek to Lusaka for greener pastures where he met one of Zambia’s well-renowned rap artists MC Wabwino at the Heritage Studio. It was at this point that J.K. was showcased when he featured on MC Wabwino’s popular album Yamene Yamene.
