LOOKiN 4 A NEW SOUND....

This guy is cold... Watch this video of Jordan Ware - my Morehouse brother - playing the violion... to the beat. :-) [not used to seeing that huh?]

     Hailing from the streets of New York City, Jordan "J.o" Ware was born with natural music ability, which could be seen at an early age. Writing his first song at the age of five, Jordan would soon pick up a violin and his life would then change forever. While performing with the Opus 118 East Harlem Violin Program, Jordan had the opportunity to tour the world and perform with such acts as Wyclef Jean, Madonna, N'SYNC, Gloria Estefan, Bobby McFerrin and Quincy Jones. Jordan always loved music and after spending time at such musical schools as Bloomingdale House of Music, and the MAP program at the Julliard School of Music, he decided to move to the genre of jazz and blues. 
     Under the teaching of his mentor, Julie Lyonn Lieberman, Jordan learned the art of improvisation and fell in love with the violin for yet a second time. While attending Morehouse College, Jordan began to fuse Jazz violin and Hip-Hop together, while making tracks on his computer. He loved the challenge of creating a new genre of music, which could be known and loved by others. Jordan is quick to let his opinion of music today be known. "Music is supposed to have meaning behind it, unfortunately we are in a time where money is the determination of meaning. That is why I am here to change that." Jordan "J.o" Ware is a man of many talents. He is a violinist, an MC, a producer and an entrepreneur (One Love Music Ent.). The future holds much for this young talent, and only time will tell how far he goes...
