“Music is part of who we are. It both reflects and amplifies the lives we’re living and things we’re experiencing,” says Jordan Daniel. “Sometimes it lifts us, sometimes it slams us down, but it’s always visceral; it’s always honest; it’s always real. We put ourselves out there in the stuff that we write and the way we perform it. We’re speaking a language our audiences relate to and understand.”
