Biography
A modern composer with a cinematic ear, a choral heart, and a performer’s sense of touch.
Jordan Green is a Dallas born composer now based in the San Antonio area. His music moves across film, video games, choral writing, orchestral collaboration, and original instrumental work, blending dramatic storytelling with thoughtful musical detail.
He studied music composition at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he graduated summa cum laude, received the Presser Scholar Award, and won first place in the choral selection of UTSA’s 2023 New Music Festival Composition Contest. Those accolades reflect a growing body of work shaped by formal study, creative instinct, and a deep respect for performers.
As a multi instrumentalist, Jordan brings a performer’s perspective to the page. His experience with piano, voice, and Arabic Oud gives his writing a wider sense of texture, color, phrasing, and musical curiosity.
Whether writing for a short film, a choir, a solo piano release, or a collaborative media project, Jordan approaches composition as a way to deepen the emotional world of the work. His music is expressive, intentional, and shaped by the belief that sound can make a moment feel unforgettable.
Musical roots
From choir, film scores, and a small keyboard to original composition.
Jordan’s musical path began with a love for choir music, film scores, and the feeling of being completely pulled into a story through sound. After learning piano in eighth grade, he started writing music with a small keyboard and free composition software, building the foundation for a creative voice that now spans screen, stage, and ensemble work.
Inspired by story
Jordan was drawn to music that could make a scene feel deeper, a text feel more alive, and a performance feel more emotionally complete.
Built through practice
He began composing independently, learning through experimentation, piano, software, and a growing curiosity for musical structure.
Refined through collaboration
His work continues to grow through projects with performers, directors, developers, composers, and creative teams.
Multi instrumental voice
A composer shaped by piano, voice, and Arabic Oud.
Jordan’s multi instrumental background is more than a line in his bio. It shapes how he thinks about melody, breath, resonance, rhythm, and texture. The piano gives him a harmonic foundation, the voice keeps the music connected to phrase and line, and the Arabic Oud adds another color to the way he hears musical motion.
