Jordan is a local Woodbridge guitarist and singer who brings a welcoming, carefree vibe everywhere he's blessed to perform. The Pennsylvania-born musician was raised on a diverse mix of eras, genres, and artists that ensures everyone within earshot can join the fun (s/o to my Dad and Guitar Hero 3).

Requests always welcome!

I have been creating music for most of my life. I had some success with my rock band Reluctant Zero, getting our song in an independent horror film that currently has over 2 million views.
