Career
In 2014, Jetta released a self-shot music video for her song "Start a Riot" which gained thousands of views in its first week on YouTube and brought her significant attention. The same year, her cover of Ten Years After's song "I'd Love to Change the World" was used in a trailer for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the first trailer for the movies Nightcrawler and Terminator Genisys, and in the first episode of the fourth season of CBS' TV series Person of Interest.
In 2015, after pairing up with electronic producer Matstubs on a remix of Jetta's cover, the song received further significant attention after being posted to the Trap Nation YouTube channel. It then hit gold, generating over 200 million plays on YouTube, and 120 million on Spotify, becoming her most listened to song. In 2017, L'Orchestra Cinématique released the remix cover of the song on the trailer for Star Trek: Discovery.[2]
