Biography

Tristan Prettyman (singer, songwriter)

born on March 23, 1977 and raised in Mechanicsville, Virginia, was mostly influenced with such music genres as reggae, pop, rock, jazz, folk and hip-hop. Having a strong interest in music, he attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy but dropped out a year later when he decided to pick up guitar at the age of 18 and started exploring his singing talent at strawberry fields and on the streets of Manhattan.

After busking around the Big Apple, Jason moved to San Diego. There, he landed a singing career with a duo with drummer Noel "Toca" Rivera. Along with Toca, he performed at the coffeehouses around the town before getting signed to Elektra Records.

In 2002, Jason releases his major-label debut studio album called "Waiting for My Rocket to Come" via Elektra Records. Exploring his songwriting talent by sinking into penning almost all the songs in the album, he brought in pop rock, rock and rock alternative music as his genres. Listing such singles as "The Remedy (I Don't Worry)", "Both You and I" and "Curbside Prophet" among others, he lands the album at number two on Billboard Heatseekers chart.
