Early life
Born and raised in central Pennsylvania, Jett spent most of his life focused on academics; specifically computers. With an undeveloped passion to sing and bass guitar skills he picked up from his father, it wasn't until graduating high school that he discovered his innate love for piano. Utilizing his experience with computers, Jett turned to various software programs and online tutorials to learn piano, and remains entirely self-taught. Upon beginning to play, he did not go a single day without practicing for over two years straight. "It was an entirely new side of myself that I had discovered, providing absolute emotional therapy - I would utilize the Internet for tutorials on how to play a Billy Joel hit, and within two weeks I would be comfortable playing and singing it entirely. The motivation I found from such quick results turned sitting down and playing into an addiction." Jett would go on to graduate from Penn State University with a BA in Cyber Security, while continuing to teach himself piano and guitar.
Music career
Shortly after starting college, Jett began collaborating with other musicians and performing live throughout several attempts to form a lasting original band. After attempting to write on his own, he began recording his first release which was entirely self-produced on his laptop. One year later in June 2011, the resulting “Without Wings” demo album was released locally and through popular digital distributors. 500 physical copies were produced, rapidly selling out for $5 each at local performances.
The demo album’s success landed a 5-day recording session at the acclaimed Clear Track Studios in Clearwater, Florida. These sessions yielded the 4-track eponymous Jett Prescott EP, mastered by Scott Hull. The independently released EP now sees worldwide rotation on Pandora Internet Radio. Music Connection favorably reviewed the EP and went on to name Jett Prescott #2 among the top 25 new artists from 2013, which followed a homepage feature on music mega-site ReverbNation. “Put Me Down in Wine” was voted #1 on TRS24/7 Radio, received high praise from SongOfTheYear.com, and VEVO independently published the official music video. The indie track continues to get airplay on radio networks including Sirius XMU, The Darryn Yates Show, RevolverUnderground, The Emerge Radio Networks, and GagOrder Network. Jett Prescott revealed in recent interviews with “New Music Inferno” and red-carpet celebrity interviewer Jeffrey Henderson that he has relocated to Los Angeles from the east coast to focus on the recording of his first full-length album with producer PJ Bianco. Locals can find Jett performing venues such as The Lighthouse Café and Hollywood’s “The Piano Bar”.
