Hey! Im Jordan Paul. I am a 18 year old Artist; playing the guitar for 4 years. I have just begun to teach myself the piano. I have been singing and songwriting since August 2005. I like to write my own songs and music; very very rarely do I ever learn other peoples songs. Some of my musical influences have been, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Dashboard Confesionals, Jet, Ben Kweller, David Usher, Ben Harper, Donavon Frankenreiter, Jason Mraz, Damien Rice, Teddy Geiger, Tyler Hilton, The Spill Canvas, Matt Wertz. I like to think that I like them because I play acoustic, but I'm pretty sure they made me like acoustic. They are some of what I listen to. I also like Jupiter Sunrise, Moby, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Our Lady Peace, Frou Frou, Theivery Corperation, Massive Attack, and other techno stuff sometimes. Not heavy metal or anything that has distortion. The inspirations to my music are anything from being in love with a girl, wanting to have a girl but you're not so sure what it is about her. To being about staying true to yourself and not being fake.

Most of my songs are simple and if you ever want the chords or tabs I will glady try to get them to you. I am using a Martin DX1, I highly recomend this guitar to anyone wanting good highs and lows out of their guitar. I do not know much about electirc keyboards but I have a Peavy DMP 3se. It's simple and works wonderfully for recording. I have a Blue Snowball USB Condenser Microphone and I just use my plain old laptop to record with Adobe Audition 2.0.

I only have time after school to work on anything and holidays when we get them, sometimes I work on my music more than other times. The production quality of my songs is getting better and better each day with more experience and new tricks. The only thing I worry about when I play is if it's me. So if you really have a problem with my music, then tell me, but dont tell me to change, I make my music the way I like it. I am open for new ideas since I teach myself everything I know I might have not known something that can be really useful. And I love to hear my songs with new things added to them (ex. Harmony, drums, bass, ect.) Just like Allison did to How we Happend. And if How we happend isn't up there with her vocals in it then just ask me to e-mail you the track.

My future expectations for my music is to be more comfortable with playing in front of people. A better performer so that I could play shows and such. Learn more and more piano and have somone join me in my music journey so that they could play piano while I play guitar in shows. I want to become a better singer and with the confidence I want to have I will hopefully be able to ask somone that I know to teach me how. I am hoping to get a purevolume pro account but money is hard to come by most of the time and I find better uses for it. And the most important thing that I expect to come out of my music is to be able to talk with fans and become friends with them and let them not just be someone who likes my music but somone that can say; I listen to Jordy Paul, he's pretty cool, you should take the time to talk to him sometime. Because I like to get to know new people and don't worry I will make time to talk to you even when I make it big.
