Jordan Ullman

Toronto, Ontario

Jordan Ullman is the Toronto-born producer half of Majid Jordan, the OVO Sound R&B duo signed to the label in 2013. He is credited as a co-writer and co-producer on "Hold On, We're Going Home" (2013) alongside his Majid Jordan partner Majid Al Maskati, Nineteen85, and Drake. The "Hold On" credit is the moment Majid Jordan's writing language entered the Drake catalog — warm synth pads, slow-tempo programmed drums, and song forms closer to early-1980s soft pop than to traditional rap — and Ullman has continued to shape the OVO Sound house style across the duo's three studio albums and a steady run of features. His production work tends toward analog-feeling synth chords, restrained drum programming, and arrangements that prioritize space over density. Outside Majid Jordan his name surfaces on multi-writer credits on a handful of Drake-adjacent projects from the mid-2010s. Within an encyclopedia of Drake writers, Ullman represents the producer-as-songwriter wave that the OVO Sound roster institutionalized: a writer whose compositional contribution is the chord progression and the texture, not the topline lyric, and whose name nonetheless sits on the publishing splits because the modern definition of a song includes both.
