Jordi Comstock, was born in Lunenburg the son of a drummer and grandson of a swing band leader. His rythmic experiments started before he can remember, having a drumkit in the house since birth. Jordi got his first lessons from his father at the age of 8 and at 10 started a band with his brother Kirk called Madhat. Madhat started playing shows and writing songs right away, scoring gigs in local bars and festivals by age 11. At 13 he attended summer rock camp at the Halifax conservatory where he auditioned and made the advanced class even with being a year younger than they would normally allow to attend. Madhat became known for hosting large All Ages shows on the east coast even receiving favorable mention from Harpers Bazar magazine. Madhat began touring all over Canada and made several music videos that were played on Canada's Much Music Station one of which was selected for the best of Going Coastal show. Through school Jordi would drive to Halifax in order to study with Roger Strange and spent several years under his tutorial. Madhat continued to tour and record untill several personel changes lead Kirk and Jordi to lay Madhat to rest and create a new group with their cousin Luke called Air Traffic Control. Air Traffic Control has already had it's music placed in Films, TV shows, a video game for PC, XBOX and playstation 2, has toured extensively, hit 1 on the East Coast Count Down several times and has released a video for "At Any Cost" that was shot by award winning Director Annie Bradley.
Jordi has established a great reputation as a studio session player recording for such artists as Madhat, Air Traffic Control, Flat Fifth, Catahoula Brown, Nick Jeffrey, Electric City Underground, Clas Larsson, Code, Karen Palmer, Cheryl Gaudet, Steve Gates, Zac Crouse, Tom Gallant, Kristelle Laveque and Al Tuck to name a few.
