Jordan Galland is a New York City–based filmmaker, songwriter, playwright, actor, and independent musician who has stubbornly refused to pick just one career. He has directed four narrative feature films, including Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead, which premiered at the Slamdance and was released theatrically by Indican Pictures, Alter Egos, which premiered at Fantasia and was released by eOne under Kevin Smith's label. and Ava's Possessions, which premiered at SXSW and was released theatrically worldwide through Orion Pictures. He has also directed commercials and music videos, and his stage plays Orchid or Kid and One-Eighty have premiered in off Broadway theaters .

As a musician and songwriter, Galland has released several albums of his own and collaborated with artists including Mark Ronson, Sean Lennon, Daniel Merriweather, Domino Kirke, Zosia Mamet, Fischerspooner, and Cibo Matto. He has contributed music to films and television, including Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture, the Neistat Brothers' HBO original series and Nike ad, and the award-winning Supporting Characters, for which he composed the original score.

After years fronting bands, making films, and collaborating with an eclectic cast of creative accomplices, Galland has returned to the intimate format of solo songwriting. His latest album, No Rockstars (coming out in October), is a collection of funny, candid, personal songs about ambition, parenthood, romance, disappointment, and the strange freedom that comes from letting go of the fantasy of becoming a star. Blending witty storytelling with melodies that move between folk, rock, funk, and pop, the songs celebrate the quiet persistence of continuing to make art anyway.
