Jordan Bijan Canadian Musical Phenomenon

In striving to showcase the very best of young talent and continuing the quest in our search for new emerging talent, Rivenmaster is proud to present the very youngest child to ever be introduced on this site. While we have made it a practice to only feature youngsters between the ages of 8 and 18 we just had to make an exception for 6 year old Jordan Bijan.

Jordan Bijan is a musical phenomenon from Brampton, Ontario. Although he is only 6 years old and just beginning his musical pursuit, he is already showing signs of enormous talent.

THE BEGINNING

His dad shared with me that the earliest sign of Jordan showing a special natural talent was at the age of two. He recalls Jordan sitting in his car seat and singing along with his two sisters. However, Jordan was the only one who could match the pitch of the melodies he would hear.

Jordan’s Dad is a multi-instrumentalist so their living room is often filled with different instruments. One day at the age of five and a half, Jordan came to his dad and asked if he could learn a beat on the drums. His Dad showed him a basic beat, and within minutes, Jordan could play it. Dad would play the piano, and Jordan would keep a beat.

He then wanted to try the piano so his father showed him a few basic chords which he learned instantly. Jordan showed an amazing interest and would come home from his half day Kindergarten class, eat his lunch and go straight to practice.

Once he had built up enough confidence he wanted to record his own songs. Of course he wasn’t satisfied playing just one instrument; he wanted to play them all, said his Dad.

Rivenmaster’s Place is always happy to find youngsters at the beginning of their musical careers. For this site, there is no greater pleasure than following and observing their development from young budding musicians into real super stars. Today’s featured guests are more than just amazing young musicians and vocalists. They are wonderful human beings who are making a difference in the world through their music and moral character.

When I first discovered Daves Highway’s music, they were just young kids doing their thing on YouTube. However, it was not hard to see from their first cover songs that these young people had a special relationship with God, family, and life in general. Their cheerful dispositions, warm personalities, polite responses to comments, and willingness to share with others, convinced me to become a loyal follower and fan for life.

Apparently I was not alone, as it was shortly after the release of our first article about them entitled “Mississippi Music Magic” published to Theskykid.com, that Chris Tomlin took notice of their first cover of his song “Jesus Messiah”………….the rest is history.

Now in their first years of College, Daves Highway has grown into a famous professional young adult singing group. While this website will always remember them as cute little preteens just staring out, what we now hear is one of the most unique and amazing Christian crossover singing groups this country has ever produced.

It is with great pleasure that today I offer their full update presented exactly as it was given to me for your reading pleasure.

I trust, if you have not already joined their thousands of fans that you will by the end of this article.

 

DAVES HIGWAY 2014

“It’s been so long since we were “discovered” by our friend Rivenmaster. He posted our story from the very beginning way back in 2009. Since then, so much has changed for us. We’ve gone from a home school to attending college. We’re approaching 200,000 Facebook fans and have over 15 million video views, 4 studio CDs, and have written lots of songs.   And, now we’re kind of waiting to see where our music career might take us next. We’re hoping for a quick departure from college and onto a tour bus, but you never know.

We’ve played for thousands of people across the country, primarily in the southeast and have visited 12 states so far. We’re about to head up to New York to play a concert at “The Brooklyn Tabernacle”, which is very exciting for us.

Daves Highway An Acoustic Christmas

Our journey has enabled us to reach a lot of people and hopefully has demonstrated that the best life is one of character, morals, and honesty. There are shortcuts you can take, but in the end God just wants us to know and honor Him. And, that’s what we plan to do.

All 4 of our studio CDs are quite unique and different. We’ve experimented a lot with our sound learning who we want to be musically and it shows differently on each recording.   Our CDs are all available through our website and we have some other cool stuff there, too.   We also have iTunes, Amazon, and other internet sites selling our songs as well.

Our current CD was released on November 11 and is titled Daves Highway- An Acoustic Christmas. We believe this is our best work thus far. Even though we didn’t write the songs, our interpretation and arrangements of these classic tunes are pure Daves Highway. We recorded the entire record in about a week in a studio tucked away in the mountains near Asheville, NC. The songs were produced By Andrew Reed who made them just the way we wanted them, and we think you’ll love every song!

As for the immediate future, we are going to release several new videos from ‘An Acoustic Christmas’ between now and Christmas. Here’s a new video of one of our favorites “Little Drummer Boy”

We also have a live DVD/CD in the can and ready to distribute. We made the live set back in 2011 at the Altamont Theatre in Asheville, too. It will be neat to look back at the fun we had back then.

We can’t write another word without saying a big THANKS to all of you who have read, liked, subscribed, and shared our posts on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram.     Please know that we do our best to read every post.   Without you, we can’t continue to do what we love to do….and that’s making music!
