JORDIN Sparks turns 21 today — and she’ll celebrate with a huge bash at The Compound Grill in Phoenix.

The NoPho venue will celebrate with a party featuring music from Micah, Jon from pop punk band A Change Of Pace and DJ Babey Drew, who is Chris Brown‘s DJ.

The event is hosted by and benefits THE M.A.D. GIRLS, a non-profit corporation, dedicated to humanitarian causes.

Sparks recently revealed she “can’t believe” that she gets paid to do what she loves!

The former American Idol winner — who’s recently appeared in the Broadway production of In The Heights — is shocked at how her life has turned out.

“I walk in to the stage door every day and I’m like, ‘I get to do this. This is my job’,” Jordin said.

“I say that about music as well. I can’t believe I get paid for doing what I love to do.”
