impressive credentials: Nearly 30,00 fans on MySpace; was chosen as a featured
artist by NOKIA Corp. with his music included both in the rollout of new
phones and in their official Podcast at MIDEM 2007; and was a finalist
on MTV "Duets" with Vanessa Carlton. But JORDAN's face is perhaps most

video "100 Years" in which he plays the wistful 15 year-old pianist. Whether
playing with his band or on his own, JORDAN regularly performs at jam-packed
clubs and venues all over Southern California. Look for him to extend his
