With brutally honest lyrics about the troubles of youth, bambi-eyed and lioness curled songstress Jetta is speaking the language of realness<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago, 25-year-old Liverpudlian singer-songwriter Jetta was a backing vocalist for Paloma Faith and CeeLo Green. This year, she went to the Grammy Awards on her own merit and was fangirled by Katy Perry (\u201cI bumped into her and she said, \u2018I bought your EP and I love it!\u2019\u201d). Over 31 million people have heard her track, \u201cFeels Like Coming Home\u201d too, thanks to the the viral YouTube video it soundtracked \u2013 last year\u2019s Google trailer \u201cHere\u2019s to 2013\u201d.<\/p>\n

She also happens to be one of Pharrell Williams\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9s. He called Jetta up, flew her to Miami and produced her track \u201cCrescendo\u201d after spotting her DIY music video for \u201cStart A Riot\u201d online. \u201cI just did it because my friends and I were sitting around doing nothing and I thought, \u2018Why don\u2019t we just have some fun and film this on my iPhone?\u2019\u201d recalls Jetta. \u201cWe got some lamps from the house to make our own lighting and I got in the bath with all my clothes and shoes on, which was a bit gross, but it felt grungy enough. It was 5am by the time we finished. I had no intention of putting it out, but when record labels here and in America picked up on it, I thought, \u2018Hold on, there\u2019s something in all of this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from her piercing Bambi-like eyes and lioness curls, the first thing you notice about Jetta is her Scouse accent and her distinct style. She cites Sigourney Weaver in Alien<\/i>, and other sci-fi flicks like Blade Runner<\/i> and The Fifth Element<\/i> as key fashion references. \u201cI think I might watch The Fifth Element<\/i> tonight, actually,\u201d she laughs. She gives a wry smile and continues, \u201cI\u2019m a Gemini so there are two sides of me and my alter ego wears a pink wig. I don\u2019t have a name for her yet, but I\u2019m open to suggestions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raised by a sound engineer father and a mother who had her own a cappella quartet, it\u2019s no surprise Jetta was drawn to music from a young age. \u201cI remember being three and hearing my mum and her friends sing four-part harmonies in our living room every weekend. I\u2019d lie on the floor taking in all this gorgeous sound. I used to sing to myself all the time, but I was really shy. I used to make my friends face the other way and not look at me when I sang,\u201d Jetta tells me. \u201cMy mum got me a laptop with music software on it when I was 16, and I set up my own little studio in my room, spending the summer teaching myself how to produce music. That\u2019s when I really started songwriting, so I put on a show in a local bar in Liverpool called La\u2019go to show my friends and family what I\u2019d been hiding away doing, and I realised the rush I got when I was onstage.\u201d That night also happened to be her big break, when a chance meeting with a music business student with connections in London resulted in Jetta\u2019s move to the capital. \u201cI remember telling them, \u2018Look, I just want to be here. I want to move away from my comfort zone, meet new people and get new experiences,\u2019 and by chance, Paloma Faith was looking for someone to join the tour, so I went in and started singing along with everyone else and spent the next year and a half touring with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Jetta\u2019s honest lyrics have elicited comparisons to the likes of Adele and Florence Welch. \u201cI don\u2019t want to shy away from any of it, whether I feel really happy or really sad. I tend to just embrace it, write about it and stay as honest with myself as I can.\u201d Jetta explains. \u201cMy song \u2018Can You Hear Me Now?\u2019 is all about growing up. I used to live with my dad who\u2019s very reclusive and I felt trapped with him, so when you hear that beat knocking it\u2019s like something knocking on the walls telling me to get out, that I could go and be whoever I wanted to be. I\u2019ve been doing that ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jetta\u2019s only plan B was to be an astronaut. \u201cI\u2019ve got my sights set on what I want. I\u2019d still really love to perform on Mars. Maybe we can do some sort of deal where I can sing on the Mars One flight?\u201d Anyone?<\/p>\n
