My name is Jordan, and I am a singer/guitarist/songwriter.  

 

In terms of a music career, in order of preference it would be  professional touring artist performing my own songs/my co-written songs/by someone else but I'm in the band (aka not a hired gun) (I'm also not vain/narcissistic enough to say I have to play my own songs, even if a band member is a much better writer)>same as above but performing as a hired gun>same but not my own songs aka your typical pop star>all of the above but playing in a more niche genre (such as death metal, prog rock etc)>session musician>performing on cruise ships/bar band etc>a coach/teacher in music.

 

Currently I am a senior at Penn State, majoring in Criminal Justice, which is my sort of "safe" career option.  Admittedly, the prospect of graduating in 2 months has reaallly kickstarted my work towards a music career! :jumping38:

 

I currently practice guitar and vocals each day, and also try to write one song (meaning lyrics, vocal melodies, and by default the chords) each day.  I also got an mbox mini with pro tools express, and am trying to learn how to make at least ok-sounding demos.  

 

If anybody has any advice that will help me reach my goals, I would greatly appreciate it!  I also plan on spending my time here and seeing where it goes :phone:

 

EDIT: Wow I can't even manage to spell a title correctly...I need to go to bed.
