Name:Jordan Taylor Hanson
Birthdate:March 14, 1983
Role:Keyboards,(some) drums, (some) harmonica, vocals, and big bro to five.
Taylor is the second oldest child in the Hanson family at age 17. He is one third of
the group Hanson and one ninth of the Hanson family. He was classically trained on the
piano (along with Isaac and Zac) for quite a few years before Hanson was started. He
recorded Hanson's first national release, "Middle of Nowhere" when he was just 13 years
old. His personality (I only say this based on interviews and appearances) is friendly,
talkative, and humble. He is oft regarded as the 'heartthrob' of the group, which
I think isn't a very nice thing to say about him, especially in front of his brothers,
but he usually just says something to the effect of, "They don't really love me, they
love the idea of me." Humble, as I said.
Quotes
"What we bring to the table is the fact that everyone of us is different. What makes it work is each of us has our own deal. I can't tell you what it is, though. The fact that we are constantly switching roles makes that impossible to answer. One guy's being goofy one day, and one guy's being the guy who gets work done the next."
"Yes, we call him Father. If we're put with friends or whatever, Zac's like "OK, we've got to be home in 20 minutes. He has some kind of psychotic weird thing where he wants to be goofy when he's not supposed to be and he wants to be strict when he's supposed to have fun."
"What would you do if you looked in your backyard and there's your old treehouse and there's somebody just swinging on your treehouse?"
"We have this security. It's actually funny because we have these little things in the trees that have an alarm and if you walk by they say, "Don't enter the yard."
"Well, you know, people are always asking "Who's your girlfriend?" or "Do you have one?" and I'm like "Well, you know what? If I did have one, I wouldn't tell you who she was."
"No, he said he didn't have a girlfriend. He's a player." (on Zac)
"We're not rebels. What would we rebel against?"
"Little more time alone with the menu. Me and the menu gotta get to know each other a little better."
"We still live in the same house we always had"
"I think if you have faith...then that defines how you live your life."
