The Ready Set is comprised of 20 year-old Indiana-born drummer, singer, songwriter and keyboardist Jordan Witzigreuter, who creates infectious, danceable pop designed for fun.
I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming is the first release from the joint venture between Sire Records and Pete Wentz's Decaydance Records. The album is available everywhere.
Having toured steadily for the past year, The Ready Set has already developed a fiercely passionate and loyal fan-base.
The self-described shy and reserved Witzigreuter transforms when taking the stage, with an in-your-face, frenetic live set. "Our shows are a party... All I care about is having fun," says Jordan.
The Ready Set just wrapped a highly successful "Shop 'till You Rock" performance in Dallas, TX with Demi Lovato, and continues his mobile party starting August 21st on the MTV VMA Tour supporting Never Shout Never. Look for him on tour throughout the fall.
