Jordan Timothy Jenks (born September 19, 1993), known as Pi'erre Bourne (pronounced pee-AIR BORN), is an American music producer, rapper, songwriter, and sound engineer. He is famous for producing hit songs like "Magnolia" for Playboi Carti and "Gummo" for 6ix9ine. Both of these songs became very popular and reached the top 30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

After he produced "Magnolia" and other songs for Playboi Carti's first mixtape in 2017, Pi'erre Bourne's special sound tag became very well known. This tag is a voice saying, "Yo Pierre, you wanna come out here?" It's a line from an old TV show called The Jamie Foxx Show. This sound tag became a popular Internet meme and helped him become even more famous. Since then, he has worked with many big artists. These include Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, Young Thug, Juice Wrld, Kanye West, and Drake.

Early Life and Music Start

So, Jenks moved to Atlanta to study sound engineering at the SAE Institute. While in school, he met DJ Burn One. DJ Burn One told him to create his own music instead of just using samples from other songs.
