Jordan Rudess is a member of the progressive rock band, “Dream Theater” and was voted the best keyboardist of all time in a poll by MusicRadar. Jordan began his career as a classically trained pianist from Juilliard, and in some ways took 20 years to become an overnight success.
I first got to know Jordan when we were both featured in Pianist magazine back in 2008. After I co-founded AirTurn, I reached out to Jordan to help promote our wireless page turning pedal for the iPad, and he graciously invited me to his home to film a terrific promo. Thanks to our mutual love for music and technology, we’ve crossed paths several times at various music trade shows and have managed to stay in touch throughout the years.
