It’s a fair indicator that the industry has earmarked you for greatness when the never ageing ‘happy’ hat-stand Pharrell Williams produces the title-track from your forthcoming EP. Along with the aforementioned Pharrell fighting her corner, she’s also been tipped for success by the likes of iTunes and Rolling Stone Magazine. Impressive.
Having grown up amongst the rich musical heritage of Liverpool, she began singing in local choirs aged eight. These humble beginnings lead to spells as a backing vocalist for the likes of Cee Lo Green, until late 2012 when she uploaded a video (shot on her iPhone) of herself signing ‘Start A Riot’ (her own track). This eventually led to the singer joining mega-label, Universal.
Jetta has become well known for her powerhouse vocal performances (anyone who caught her at this year’s SXSW can attest to that), however she reveals a more reserved and delicate side in her elegant rendition of ‘Operators’ for 405tv.
As always we recommend you sit back, relax and please watch in fullscreen 1080p HD whenever possible. We didn’t film this session on iPhones btw.
