Jordan Rain

Music... I started playing and singing music at an early age, perhaps before the age of one. I was known to bang on pots and pans while freestyling and mixing in my favorite nursery rhymes of the day. My parents encouraged me to play music. The first band I was ever really inspired by was AC/DC at age 7, I also liked Loverboy a lot (I gotta do it my way, or no way at all). Around that time for Christmas my parents bought me a used Rogers drum kit and I was so charged. A year later my parents divorced and most of my music creating was put on hold, but I was always inspired listening to music of the radio and my parents records. Mostly rock and roll was what they had of the 70's, my fav's were: Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, the Kinks, Journey, Queen, the Beatles and, Wings &; solo Paul McCartney, the Hollies, Fleetwood Mac, Elvis Costello, Aerosmith and Simon and Garfunkel (this is stuff I liked when I was young some of which I can still tolerate).

My dad Michael Rain played in Rock bands from the time I was born. He was a pioneer of sorts because he was playing in original hard rock bands throughout the 70's. 20 years before Grunge became a household label my dad was whippin hair and rockin the clubs. Some of the bands he was in were: The Core (with Floyd Rose on guitar; maker of the famous tremelo which Eddie Van Halen endorsed in the late 70's. We knew him when he was tirelessly perfecting it in his basement a poor musician), Everyones Brother, and the Project. I think the Core were the best of these bands personally as his bands got progressively more glammy but not in a good way. Regardless, my dad is a talented mofo who gave me the musical itch. A player of multi-instruments, good soulful voice, nice harmony singer and a keen musical ear; self taught.

While dad was rockin' the clubs in Seattle and gave me the musical itch because of his determination to play, it was my mom who supported and helped me cultivate it at home. My mother Joy, who truly lives up to her name sang songs with me from my infancy and it was her that i learned and cultivated my ear for harmony singing through. Since i can remember, my mom and I would sing harmonies in the car to anything on the radio and I think that is a major reason why I can naturally harmonize and find harmony lines above or below the melody to this day. Joy recorded me from when i was two to six years old singing my own songs, pop songs and nursery rhymes to free improv, while making rhythms and sound on the drums. She embarrased me on my 30th birthday by playing the tape with this stuff on it for my friends. There's some good free improv in that tape, I think Michael Griffin and Ornette Coleman would agree. Thanks for holdin' it down mom. Follow This Path And Continue Reading »
