JORDAN SIMPSON
Jordan Simpson is a senior at The New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music. Jordan was always surrounded by music growing up. He has always gravitated toward any instrument around him. His passion for music is so deep. At the age of 2, he began to play the drums. With a piano, a guitar, and basses in the house (his dad being a bassist), Jordan would always enjoy learning songs by ear for fun on each of those instruments. Jordan prides himself in being versatile. He was involved with almost every music ensemble throughout high school. Jordan also has a very diverse taste in music, as he listens to everything from pop, to musical theater, to classic r&b, and more. He feels that being versatile is beneficial because it can make you a much stronger and more complete musician. As much as Jordan loves music, he also has a deep love for baseball, his dogs, and coffee (or tea, depending on the day). He also has a great sense of humor, at least in his opinion. Jordan absolutely loves being in Pursuing JC. “It is surreal to be on a stage in front of thousands of people, and to see our name next to some of the biggest names in Christian music. But it’s even more surreal to be able to do this with people I consider family. That’s a feeling you can’t put into words.”
