Jordan Stephens: Heartbreak, hitting rock bottom and finding my way back from self-destruction

Jordan Stephens is a writer, musician and actor, best-known as
one half of the hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks. His late teens and
early twenties were a whirlwind of hit records, sold-out shows
and wild parties, fuelled by a heady cocktail of drugs, drink,
sex and chaos. It was fun until is wasn't.


In 2017, everything fell apart when Jordan cheated on his
then-girlfriend, leading to a painful break up that left him
heartbroken for the first time. Desperate to make sense of it
all, Jordan set out on a journey of self-discovery, facing his
emotions and slowly pieced himself back together. He opens up to
James about his experience of heartbreak and why love is such an
important, yet misunderstood, topic for young men today.


His new book, Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs is out now.
