Jetta (full name Jetta John-Hartley) is a singer-songwriter and record producer from Liverpool who is based in London.

Early life

When she was 15 years old, Jetta was gifted the music editing software Logic on which she taught herself to produce music.[1]

Career

In 2014, Jetta released a self-shot music video for her song "Start A Riot" which gained thousands of views in its first week on YouTube and brought her significant attention. The same year, her cover of Ten Years After's song "I'd Love To Change The World" was used in a trailer for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the first trailer for the movies Nightcrawler and Terminator Genisys, and in the first episode of the fourth season of CBS' TV series Person of Interest.

In 2015, after pairing up with electronic producer Matstubs on a remix of Jetta's cover, the song received further significant attention after being posted to the Trap Nation YouTube channel. It then hit gold, generating over 200 million plays on YouTube, and 120 million on Spotify, becoming her most listened to song. In 2017, L'Orchestra Cinématique released the remix cover of the song on the trailer for Star Trek: Discovery.[2]

Jetta has written songs for rapper Machine Gun Kelly ("Merry Go Round"), girl group Neon Jungle ("Louder", "Fool Me"), DJ Sam Feldt ("Runaways"), and singers P!nk ("More"), Medina ("Runnin Out of Love", "We Survive") and Ashley Roberts ("Clockwork").[3]

Between 2019 and 2020, Jetta released four standalone singles, "No Fire", "Livin'", "I Wanna Know" and "Taste".[4] Jetta released her next single "He Usually Likes Boys" on 22 July 2021, followed by "Honey", on 3 December the same year.

On 12 August 2022, she released the extended play Livin' which was composed of her four previously released singles (including "Livin'") and two stripped versions of "Livin" and "No Fire".[5]

In 2023, Jetta released a series of back to back, along with self-shot music videos for each single.

On 26 January 2024, Jetta released her debut album “Relax, The House Is On Fire” [6]
