Ahead of Lindsey Jordan's headlining show at the Wiltern, we spoke to Jordan about her whirlwind year and growing into her own shadow as an artist.
For most high school seniors, the principal’s office is a place best avoided. But for Snail Mail’s Lindsey Jordan, it was a final stop en route to becoming an indie rock star.
“I was going through high school, really scared about what would happen in my 20s,” Jordan recalls. “And I was sort of assuming I would have to become a music teacher or something — I didn’t think I was gonna get that far to begin with.”Jordan, now 20, left the office with signature in hand. In the year or so that followed, the Ellicott City, Md., native has continued to forge her own unlikely path.
Growing up, I always wanted to be a musician, but I never was that person who was like, “Watch out, I’m gonna be one!” I always assumed I wouldn’t ever get to do it as a job. But I’m really glad that I got this opportunity ‘cause it was something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m learning a lot about myself and being really fulfilled as a writer, which is what I feel like I am first. So it’s cool with me.
