- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
JORDAN: I saw Jekyll and Hyde on Broadway when I was 4 years old because Brad Oscar, a family friend, was in the original cast. LUKE: Watching musicals at Pittsburgh CLO
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
JORDAN: I transitioned from performer to writer upon graduating college. Writers such as Sondheim, JRB, John Larson, and Larry Owens have been most inspiring. LUKE: I’ve always been writing things on the side but really made the jump when Jordan and I both moved to the city in 2016.
- How do you describe your style/work?
JORDAN: I believe writing music to be a legitimately magical act and spend most of my days committed to materializing new ideas into songs. LUKE: Musical theatre bops- songs that certainly are theatrical but also incorporate pop sounds from today.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
JORDAN: When writing truthfully honestly, I find myself riding extreme highs, and chasing that feeling which feels like nothing else is my favorite thing to do. LUKE: I love watching ideas turn into reality.
