JATA is the solo project of Berlin artist and producer Jacob Vetter.
Spending some of his early years in Washington D.C, Jacob grew up on a diet of 90’s Hip Hop and R’N’B – a love he carried back to Germany, where electronic music was booming. This exposure to the two cultures made him soak influences ranging from Stevie Wonder's lush harmonies to the retro-futuristic sound of Kraftwerk. After his time at university, Jacob started working behind the scenes as a songwriter and session musician, while crafting his skills as a producer - with a passion for vintage analog audio equipment and synthesizers. The outcome of this multifaceted experience eventually became JATA.
After a debut EP series ‘The Bells’ in 2015 which got him the attention of international tastemakers including trendy French label Kitsuné, JATA is now pleased to unveil the video of his first single of 2016, directed by Greg Blakey.
