UC Florida - Music

Jordan Mohilowski – Jordan is an incredibly talented young musician from Ponte Vedra, Florida. His rise into the national spotlight with his new band Storyside:B began when he learned how to play the guitar at age 11 after an injury prevented him from participating in other activities. By age 13 he had taught himself how to play both the drums and the bass. Soon thereafter he produced his first CD, playing every instrument. His versatility is amazing and his future is incredibly promising. In addition to his work with Storyside:B, he is the music director for UC and composed and performed both the original and new ULTIMATE CHOICE theme songs.
