## Early life and education

Born and raised in central Pennsylvania, Prescott spent much of his early life focused on academics; specifically computers. Jett graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Cyber Security while teaching himself piano and guitar.

## Career

The success of Jett's early basement demos 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 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 ReverbNation. “Put Me Down in Wine” received high praise from SongOfTheYear.com, garnering airplay on radio networks including Sirius XMU, The Darryn Yates Show, RevolverUnderground, The Emerge Radio Networks, and GagOrder Network. Jett revealed in interviews with “New Music Inferno” and red-carpet celebrity interviewer Jeffrey Henderson that he had relocated to Los Angeles to focus on the recording of his first full-length album with producers PJ Bianco and Gary Miller. Jett is additionally included on the forthcoming "Set Them Free" album alongside Slash, Fergie, Santana, Rob Thomas, Journey, and other artists in support of the Rock Against Trafficking project. Locals can find Jett performing venues such as The Lighthouse Café and Hollywood's “The Piano Bar”.
