This week I'm going to tell you about a new and upcoming music artist The Ready Set. Now you may be thinking "Is this a band?" and the answer to that question is no! The name The Ready Set is the alias name for 20 year old musician Jordan Witzigreuter. He was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and has been trying to get his music out since 2007. Back in 2009 he released his first album titled Tantrum Castle and he has recently released his sophomore album titled I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming, which was released June 15, 2010. His music blends some elements of pop, hip-hop, rock, and R&B which creates a new genre for the "shuffle" generation.

In the early years of The Ready Set, the artist wrote and recorded all of his songs in his basement, much like Owl City. He first got his interest in music at the age 11 when he started playing the drums. He went on and played drums for many other bands, and along the way he learned all the other instruments. Before The Ready Set, Witzigreuter was a member of the band "Saints Never Surrender." His first performance was in a coffee shop back in Indiana, and from then he started touring with numerous bands, including the band "Boys Like Girls." His lead single "Love Like Woe", produced by J.R. Rotem (Producer of Rihanna, Sean Kingston, & More), has hit #71 on Billboard Hot 100, #33 on Billboard pop chart,  and #28 on Mediabase Top 40 Radio Chart.
