Jet Perry is driven by greatness. A Stamford, Connecticut native, he discovered his talent for writing and love of music early on, finding inspiration in Kanye West's Graduation, which set him on his musical path. Starting with a laptop and GarageBand, he began recording covers, soon evolving his unique sound and lyrical style. Influenced by legends like Prince, Freddie Mercury, Kanye, and Kendrick Lamar, Jet’s methodical approach results in charismatic, concept-driven projects. His 2016 EP Perrywinkle Blue showcases this artistry, and he has collaborated with Mike Squires, Bordeaux, Sheezter.Pink, David Jones Jr., and Robbie Jenkins.
