Lead singer and lyricist Renée Dunaway finds influence in divas and flamboyant rockers, whereas musician Tyler Finck gets inspired by trip-hop hooks and cinematic instrumentals.
This combination spawns a sound with the infectious melodies, pop energy, and candid, uncompromising lyrics, all of which are present on their debut album, VasoVerga. Their tracks "Il S'en Va", "Save You" and "A Thousand Dreams" have been included on several TV show soundtracks, and have had international airplay.
Renée grew up in Connecticut, daughter of rock bassist Dennis Dunaway (original member of Alice Cooper) and rock costume designer Cindy Dunaway (Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, The Who).
Tyler was a Maine native, and took up piano at the ripe age of six. Since then, he's added a multitude of instruments to his repertoire. This, mixed with his refreshing composition style, led to touring with a band in high school and prolifically composing film sores in college.
Jetsetter was formed in 2004 when Renee heard Tyler's movie scores while they were film students at Ithaca College. She tracked him down and they began working together upon recognizing their mutual urgent passion for songwriting and their diverse, but complimentary musical tastes. | | Type of Label | Major |
