EP 12: Jordan West
Jordan West is a drummer, vocalist, and songwriter from Indiana
currently based in Los Angeles, CA. Her move to LA was largely
inspired by studio legend Bob Clearmountain, who randomly stumbled
upon her singing and drumming at a rock club in Indiana. He told
her she should make the move out to Los Angeles and that if she
did, he would love to work with her. She took his advice and they
recorded their first single together, "Blueberry Smoke", featuring
Andy Summers on guitar and mastered by Bob Ludwig. She is also in
the process of finishing an EP with producer/engineer Mark Hornsby.
The project was sponsored by Roland, Ludwig, Avid, and DPA mics,
and an accompanying documentary about the process was filmed by
Nigel Dick (set for release fall 2018). Jordan also works as a
freelance studio and touring drummer/singer. She has recently
performed and recorded with Judith Hill and Kailee Morgue. She also
has her own ongoing series of Reverb.com lesson videos for drums
and writes/records for television. Jordan is endorsed by Ludwig
drums and Zildjian cymbals and is a clinician for Roland and
BOSS.
