Early Life & Education

Bandhunta Izzy, born Israel Jordan James on December 30, 1996, in Baltimore, Maryland, was raised in the West Forest Park neighborhood. As an African-American, his parents Michael James and Sarah James, are devout Christians who instilled a strong faith in their son.

Izzy’s Christian upbringing shaped his resilience, offering solace through church hymns and prayers amid a challenging childhood defined by poverty and street violence.

His father, Michael, left the family when Izzy was 15, and his mother, Sarah, later departed after discovering drugs in their home, leaving Izzy and his older brother, Jugg Bandhunta, to navigate life alone. This hardship pushed the brothers toward drug dealing briefly to survive. Izzy’s only known sibling is Bandhunta Jugg, a rapper who collaborated with him on early tracks like “Bandhuntas.”

Educationally, Izzy attended high school in Baltimore, though details about his academic path or graduation remain private. As a youth, he found refuge in his Christian faith and creative outlets, sketching and tattooing himself and his friends from age 13.

Uninterested in sports like basketball despite his height, Izzy turned to rap at 15, inspired by Chicago’s G Herbo and Baltimore’s raw street sound, blending his spiritual roots with gritty lyrics to launch his music journey.

Career

Bandhunta Izzy, born Israel Jordan James, began his music career around 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland, by uploading tracks to YouTube and SoundCloud.

He initially worked closely with his brother, Bandhunta Jugg, notably on tracks like “Bandhuntas.” His career also includes collaborations with artists such as Key Glock, Blueface, and his girlfriend, Zonnique Pullins.

Originally signed to Republic Records, Izzy eventually parted ways with the label due to creative restrictions, choosing to go independent in 2020. This move gave him greater artistic freedom, which he showcased in releases like the 2022 single “Vibes,” featuring Zonnique.

Now based in Atlanta, Izzy continues to grow his catalog, including the 2023 single “Poppin,” while balancing music and fatherhood. His journey reflects a steady evolution from Baltimore’s underground scene to an established voice in independent hip-hop.
