The daughter of French-born literary professor Albert Jordan and his English-born wife Jean Lanceman (a former ballerina), Sass Jordan at three months of age moved with her family from her native Birmingham to France, then at age three moved with her family to Westmount on the Island of Montreal, her father being a professor at Concordia University.

Jordan, who was first inspired to pursue a musical career by hearing The Band's 1969 track "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" on the radio, has cited as among her primary musical influences Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, David Bowie, Tears For Fears, Anthrax and American soul singer Al Green.

In her early teens, Jordan would regularly sing and play guitar with a group of friends in Westmount Park[6] and, leaving her parental home at age 14 around the time of her parents' marital split, was by the age of 16 performing in bands which played clubs in downtown Montreal, eventually playing as vocalist/bassist for high-profile local band The Pinups.

In 1986, Jordan made her recording debut on the Bündock album Mauve as co-lead vocalist on the track "Come On (Baby Tonight)", which also evidently marked the change of her professional name from Sass Turner to Sass Jordan. Working as a session vocalist for other Montreal-based acts, notably for The Box[2] on their 1987 album Closer Together, Jordan also had local acts record songs she'd written: Michael Breen recorded two songs he'd written with Jordan – including the Canadian hit single "Rain" – for his 1987 self-titled album.[
