Jordan Timothy Jenks (born September 19, 1993), known professionally as Pi'erre Bourne ( ), is an American record producer, rapper, singer, songwriter, and audio engineer. He is known for producing the 2017 singles "Magnolia" for Playboi Carti and "Gummo" for 6ix9ine, both of which entered the top 30 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. He has worked extensively with artists including Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, Young Thug, Juice Wrld, Young Nudy, Trippie Redd, Kanye West, Drake, Nav, 6ix9ine, Duwap Kaine, and 21 Savage.
Early life Jenks was raised in Columbia, South Carolina. His mother is a second-generation immigrant from Belize. Growing up, he would spend his summers with his grandmother in South Jamaica, Queens, which led to his interest in East Coast hip hop. He is related to Mobile Malachi, a Belizean Kriol reggae artist and musician. He is also a cousin of Papoose. Inspired by his uncle Dwight who was a rapper and graphic artist, Jenks first began making beats when he was in elementary school, using FL Studio on his uncle's computer. His stage name was inspired by the Kenan Thompson All That sketch "Everyday French with Pierre Escargot" and the 2002 film The Bourne Identity. While in high school, he formed a rap group with his friends called The Bourne Ones and posted music on Imeem.
Career After graduating from high school, Jenks studied graphic design at Winthrop University for a year before dropping out. After dropping out from Winthrop, he lived with his grandparents in Queens, and then with his father in Greenville, South Carolina, working various retail jobs. At 18, his uncle encouraged him to go to school for music and Jenks moved to Atlanta to study sound engineering at the SAE Institute. Because the institute did not have dorms, Jenks lived in his Cadillac Escalade for a period of time. While in school, he met and began collaborating with DJ Burn One, who encouraged him to create his own instrumentals and not rely on samples. He also met and became close friends with TM88 and the son of L.A. Reid, a music executive at Epic Records. He interned for a week at Hustle Gang Records before working as a full-time engineer at Mad Studios in Atlanta. While working at the studio, he met frequent collaborator Young Nudy. In 2015, Jenks began working for Epic Records as a sound engineer, leaving a year later to focus on his own career. In 2016, Jenks began releasing a series of mixtapes titled The Life of Pi'erre, named after the Kanye West album The Life of Pablo.
Jenks met Playboi Carti in February 2017 after Carti recorded a demo using Jenks' "Wokeuplikethis" instrumental. He produced the Playboi Carti song "Magnolia" in March 2017, which peaked at 29 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In September 2017, he signed a record deal with Interscope Records and launched his own imprint label, SossHouse. In the spring of 2018, he helped produce a number of songs on Kanye West's album Ye, but did not receive formal production credit. He produced the May 2018 Travis Scott single "Watch", featuring Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert. Playboi Carti's album Die Lit, which Jenks executively produced, also released in May 2018. On May 8, 2019, Pi'erre Bourne and close collaborator Young Nudy released their collaborative mixtape titled Sli'merre. On June 21, 2019, he released The Life of Pi'erre 4, his debut studio album. In July 2019, Bourne worked with Kanye West on production in West's album Jesus Is King. He earned his first Grammy Award for his production work on the album at the 2021 Grammy Awards. Jenks debuted at No. 1 on Billboards Hot 100 Producers chart on March 25, 2020, due to four production credits on the deluxe edition of Lil Uzi Vert's Eternal Atake. On June 19, 2020, Jenks released a deluxe edition of The Life of Pi'erre 4.
Jenks produced the Drake song "Pain 1993", which released in May 2020 and debuted at number 7 on the Hot 100 on May 16, 2020. Jenks released his second studio album, The Life of Pi'erre 5, on June 11, 2021. The album was entirely produced by Jenks and includes features from Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, and Sharc. Jenks produced the Lil Wayne song "Cameras", which released on January 14, 2022, in the re-release of Wayne's Sorry 4 the Wait mixtape. On September 2, 2022, he released his third studio album, Good Movie. On February 24, 2023, Jenks released "IG", which he initially teased in 2018, as an official single. The song was the first single for his Grails EP, which featured re-recordings of fan-favorite snippets and was released on April 14, 2023. On November 13, 2024, he released Sli'merre 2, his second collaborative album with Young Nudy. On June 6, 2025, Pi'erre released "Blocs", the lead single to Made in Paris, his fourth studio album. Made in Paris was released on June 27, 2025.
Artistry Jenks has cited Wiz Khalifa, video game soundtracks, Dipset, G-Unit, Kid Cudi, T-Pain, J Dilla, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, and Kanye West as inspirations for his music. Jenks has called West's career as a rapper and a producer an influence. Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork described Bourne's productions as "beats that pair airy video-game melodies with classic trap drums". He is well known for his producer tag, "Yo Pierre, you wanna come out here?", sampled from an episode of The Jamie Foxx Show.
