Jordan William Fisher (born April 24, 1994) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. His self-titled EP was released by Hollywood Records on August 19, 2016. He has had recurring roles on the television series, The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Liv and Maddie, and supporting roles in the television films, Teen Beach Movie, Teen Beach 2 and Grease: Live, and is featured on the Moana soundtrack. He assumed the role of John Laurens/Philip Hamilton in the Broadway production of Hamilton on November 22, 2016.
Fisher was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. Jordan's biological mother was 16 at the time of his birth, and he was legally adopted and raised by his maternal grandparents, Rodney and Pat. The Fishers also adopted Jordan's two siblings, Cory and Trinity as their mother struggled with substance abuse -- she does not have a relationship with the children. During an interview with Hollywood Today Live, Fisher revealed his multi-ethnic background.
Fisher got involved in gymnastics at age 2 but Fisher -- who had discovered his love for performing in school plays -- chose musical theater instead. He became interested in musical theater in the fifth grade, after being cast in a school production of School House Rock, Jr. Fisher was home-schooled as a child and earned a high school degree from Harvest Christian Academy. Fisher also enrolled in courses as Jacksonville State University in 2011. That same year, Jordan and his mother officially moved to Los Angeles and they were joined by his father and siblings in 2015. He soon began acting at Birmingham Children's Theatre and Red Mountain Theatre Company in Birmingham, where he was offered a contract with Disney after being spotted by a talent scout. He moved to Los Angeles, California, in 2011.
