from official website



Renowned as the "Best Keyboardist of All Time" by Music Radar Magazine, Jordan Rudess stands out as the extraordinary keyboardist and multi-instrumentalist for the platinum-selling, Grammy Award-winning progressive rock band, Dream Theater. Embarking on his musical journey as a classical prodigy, Jordan initiated his studies at the illustrious Juilliard School of Music at the age of 9, laying the foundation for a career marked by a distinctive fusion of classical and rock influences.

Beyond his role in Dream Theater and the power group, Liquid Tension Experiment, Jordan's musical prowess has resonated across a diverse spectrum of collaborations. From Deep Purple and David Bowie to Steven Wilson and Jan Hammer, he has left an indelible mark on the industry. Notable projects such as LMR (his side venture with Tony Levin and Marco Minneman), Steven Wilson’s Blackfield, guest appearances with Deep Purple and the Dixie Dregs and collaborations with artists like Enrique Iglesias, the Paul Winter Consort, Annie Haslam, and many others, underscore the breadth of his musical reach.

Venturing into the realm of cutting-edge technology, Jordan has emerged as a pioneer with a focus on state-of-the-art keyboard controllers and music apps. As the owner of the highly successful iOS app development company, Wizdom Music, he has spearheaded the creation of award-winning apps, including GeoShred, MorphWiz, SampleWiz, Vythm, Polywave, Jam with Jordan and SampleWiz 2. GeoShred, Wizdom Music's latest triumph, was a collaborative effort with moForte, founding members of Stanford University's Sondius team. Rudess is currently working on an AI interactive project as Visiting Artist Lab at MIT’s Media Lab in the Responsive Environments group. Jordan previously held the position of artist-in-residence at Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).

With a global following, musicians worldwide seek inspiration from Jordan Rudess through his Patreon community which offers a comprehensive range of live events and materials encompassing harmony, rhythm, improvisation, ear training, and technique.

In addition to his musical achievements, Jordan has graced prestigious tech events as a keynote speaker, including MacWorld, Microsoft Build Developer Convention, and Project BBQ. Furthermore, his authorship extends beyond music, with two keyboard technique books to his credit, including the latest, "Total Keyboard Wizardry: A Technique and Improvisation Workbook."
