Louisiana born singer-songwriter, producer, and actor, Jor’Dan Armstrong recently released his new single “L.H.U.Y. (Let Him Use Ya),” and Celeb Secrets had the opportunity chat with the artist and hear all about the new track as well as upcoming projects.
Armstrong shared that his inspiration behind “L.H.U.Y. (Let Him Use Ya)” goes back to a saying he heard a lot during his childhood and remembers even now.
“’L.H.U.Y. (Let Him Use Ya),’ is a fun song that plays on a slogan I would hear in church as a kid,” he tells Celeb Secrets. “We would constantly yell or shout ‘Let Him Use Ya’ in church to encourage whoever was speaking or singing.”
