PITTSBURGH - Move over Sid the Kid, a new kid resides in the City of Champions. More than just a Valley High School native, the Pittsburgh Kid, Jordan York, is an up and coming musician idolizing his homegrown roots through his Pittsburgh-inspired album “Pittsburgh Living.”

With “Pittsburgh Living” showing your perspective of Pittsburgh, what is the biggest thing you want your listeners and fans to know about the 412?

Just the hard working people and tradition of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is the type of city you really can't explain it, you just have to come and experience it for yourself.

What would be the first activity you would recommend a fan to do during their first visit to Pittsburgh?

I would say definitely attend any sports events...I mean we are the city of champions, right?

Your “Kennywood” track definitely captures the Kennywood experience: riding all day and night, the Thunderbolt, the Potato Patch, etc. What is your favorite thing about Kennywood? Favorite ride?

I've been going to Kennywood since I was a kid. I would say my favorite ride is the Log Jammer on a hot day and topped up with some Potato Patch at dusk.

Moving onto your album and music, you are known for captivating an audience while performing on stage with the use of more than just lyrically; how do you do this [captivate the audience]? Where is your favorite place to perform in Pittsburgh or you would like to perform in the world?

I just enjoy being on stage and engaging with the crowd. It's all about being yourself and having fun and that's what I do. I like performing all over Pittsburgh; Altar Bar was one of my favorite venue to perform at unfortunately it closed down.

Of all of your songs, “Pittsburgh Song” seems to be your biggest hit thus far. What is your favorite line from the song and why?

I would say it's because so many people can relate to it because it talks about the history and highlights everything that the city has to offer. And my favorite line would have to be it's not a Pittsburgher without the fries well because it's true.

After recording “Pittsburgh Song,” you also did a music video for it. Within the music video a lot of the city’s bridges, and, of course, Primanti Brothers is shown. Where was your favorite place to film, and where else would you like to film in a potential next music video?

The strip district was defiantly my favorite place to film it was a fun process because I got to get all my friends and fans involved to make for a great time and an awesome video.

Lastly, Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller, and Daya are just a few musicians like you that have come out of Pittsburgh. What would be your advice for other Pittsburgh kids who want to pursue the music industry?

Just to be prepared to work hard and don't let anyone bring you down. If you love something pursue it.
