"Holy f***balls... that was AMAZING!" - Christina Perri, after hearing Matthew perform his original song "Always" (from the Our Time EP). There was never a time when Matthew Jordan didn’t want to play piano and sing. “I can remember telling my teacher in kindergarten that I was going to grow up to be like Billy Joel,” he says, with a smile. “There was a kid I knew who always sang “We Didn’t Start the Fire” on the playground. I asked my dad about it, and he pulled out a stack of Billy’s old albums. That was it. I was hooked.” And so, a five-year-old boy sat transfixed at the keyboard for hours… which became days… and then years… until he finally graduated from USC’s prestigious Thornton School of Music. Jordan has already established impressive credentials: multiple independent releases (including his debut full length album, "Horizon"); several National tours with high profile gigs at clubs such as The Bitter End in New York City; having his music used on MTV, and in International ads for the Nokia N96; a finalist on MTV “Duets” with Vanessa Carlton; and a starring role in Five For Fighting’s iconic music video “100 Years” in which he plays the wistful 15 year old pianist (“Fifteen – there’s still time for you”). But most recently, it's Jordan's presence on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/matthewjordanmusic) that has enabled him to reach out to enthusiastic new sets of ears. As a YouTube partner with over 40,000 subscribers, Matthew's music has begun making its way to all corners of the globe. Every week, hundreds of new listeners leave glowing comments on Jordan's videos, whether covers or originals. "This whole YouTube thing has just been awesome," he says with excitement. "I had no idea how much it would take over my life, but I'm so glad it has. Not only are the fans amazing, but I've also had the chance to collaborate with incredibly talented artists from all over the country, and even the world. People who I never would have met without YouTube. Lots of people don't realize what a great community of musicians exists in the YouTube universe." Now, with the release of his brand-new five song EP, "Our Time", Jordan is anxious to get back on the road. His plans for the future include more extensive touring and many more videos on YouTube, where he hopes to continue growing his enthusiastic fanbase.
