ABOUT your Instructor
Jordan Winslow
Electronic Music Producer, Composer & Audio Engineer
I have been producing electronic music since I was 13 years old. My family never had the money to support my ambitions and hated my decision to pursue a career in music, but I believe life is too short to not do what you are passionate about, and my greatest passion is music.
It was a very rocky start, I almost ended up homeless multiple times, but now I have over 14 years of experience producing EDM and Pop-Electronic music for over 15 artists in Los Angeles, North Carolina, Florida, and New York and have had my soundtracks featured in various films, video games, and commercials around the world!
If you decide to work with me, I guarantee you that I will be one of the most passionate and dedicated artists you have ever worked with, and my insight will bring something unique to your project that you never thought possible!
