Career

Jordy is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest singer ever to have a #1 charted single. He achieved this in 1992, at the age of four-and-a-half, with the song "Dur dur d'être bébé !" ("It's Tough to Be a Baby").

"Dur dur d'être bébé" was #1 for 15 weeks in France, and was a dance hit across Europe, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, South Korea and Japan. It landed at #58 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him the youngest artist to ever chart there.

Jordy was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Yvelines. He is the son of music producer Claude Lemoine, who was involved with the Rockets from 1976 to 1992.

Concerns

There was concern that he was being exploited by his parents. Rumors of exploitation were furthered when the Lemoine family opened La Ferme de Jordy (Jordy's Farm), a children's tourist attraction which was a financial failure. Jordy insisted that the farm was his idea. After the farm's failure, the French government banned Jordy's music from radio and television to protect him from exploitation. In 1996 Jordy's parents divorced. He then returned to school.
