Derek Jordan: Indie Music Artist of the Week

Posted by Mike Wilson On April - 13 - 2009

derek jordan"I am a man who chooses what he wants. I feel it. I taste it. I smell it. I see it. I hear it. I want it. It goes beyond "doing whatever it takes", that's out of desperation. Its about being the greatest, most powerful and influential version of yourself. You have to sacrifice things to be that person."
