He emerged in Los Angeles with a love for music and a seemingly endless supply of drool. By the time he attended University High School (well, rumor has it he was seen there once in a while), the drooling had subsided-for the most part, but the love of music continued and he joined the New Originals as a drummer and vocalist. Mostly a cover band with an ironic name, the band started delving into songwriting and later changed their name to THE iMPOSTERS. With steady gigs at the Whiskey, Roxy, and several other LA clubs, the band drew sold out crowds and a growing fan base. Jordan left the band in 1992 to pursue a career in stripping which was short-lived (he found the pole to cause chafing). He continued to write songs and, at the same time, crossed over to the other side of the fence and joined the Arista Records staff as the Coordinator of West Coast Tour Press.

He continued to write and record; appearing on several albums of his father's. In addition, he sang harmonies for All Day Sucker, the group that was formed by some former members of THE iMPOSTERS. Jordan then joined his pal Phil Jamison to work for the legendary amplifier company, Matchless. In August 2002 life took a dramatic turn for Jordan when his father was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, a deadly form of lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Warren was given only a few months to live and spent that time finishing his final album, The Wind. Because of his failing health and the demands of rec
