ANTONELLA ROJAS - NELLS
REEF ALAN DAWSON - REEF
JETTSON BLAKE - JET
SEATBELT OFF isn’t just a band — it’s a head-on collision of raw energy, sweat-drenched stages, and lyrics straight from the soul.
Formed by three musicians from completely different backgrounds — which makes them perfectly complementary — this trio crafts a sound that blends heaviness, melody, and attitude. Expect gritty riffs, explosive drums, and lyrics that swing between sarcasm and brutal honesty.
A true power trio, the band is made up of:
Jet Jettson Blake – vocals & guitar. A whirlwind on stage, Jet is all charisma and intensity. He brings fire to every lyric and shreds guitar solos with power and emotion.
Reef Alan Dawson – bass. Tight, sharp, and full of personality, Reef is the sonic backbone of the band. He holds the groove steady while the chaos unfolds.
Antonella "Nells" Rojas – drums. Born and raised in Argentina, Nells used to work at a Ford factory before leaving it all behind to follow the music. Her drumming is fierce, emotional, and often quite literally bloody.
The band’s name says it all: SEATBELT OFF is about unbuckling and diving in headfirst. Every song hits like a crash. Every lyric cuts like a blade.
Still under the radar, the group is betting everything on the power of their songwriting, their bold visual identity, and the drive to build something real. Their symbol — a cybernetic bee — represents that fusion of instinct and machine. But make no mistake: the emotion behind it all is 100% human.
In 2025, SEATBELT OFF is fully focused on recording their debut album, set to release later this year.
SEATBELT OFF isn’t a traditional band — at least not in the usual sense.
It’s a project I built from the ground up, combining everything I’ve ever loved in a band.
I’m 42, started writing songs at 14, and I’ve always been obsessed with music — but even more with creating. With the tools I have today, I record everything in Reaper and process the tracks using modern tech to get exactly the sound I’ve always heard in my head.
SEATBELT OFF is that sound.
It’s the band of my dreams — crafted in every detail by me, D-Tan.
And now it exists — even if only here, on my terms.
About Antonella Rojas / Nells
Nells was born from my desire to create someone strong, real, and unforgettable. I wanted a woman who could be lighthearted and intense at the same time — playful, a little sarcastic, full of charisma… but the moment she sits behind the drums, she becomes a beast of pure groove.
That’s Antonella: the so-called “weaker sex” who carries the whole band on her back when the stage is on fire. I designed her with that laid-back, effortless vibe — no magazine-cover poses — because that was the whole point: raw beauty, sweat, energy, bruised fingers, and a soul that hits hard.
Nells might be gorgeous, but she’s real. And maybe that’s exactly why people fall for her. Behind the goofy face, the mismatched socks, and that loud laugh… there’s a presence that’s all her own.
Antonella Rojas is the soul of SEATBELT OFF. And without her, this band wouldn’t even “exist.”
What to Expect from SEATBELT OFF in 2025?
If you’ve made it this far, it probably means SEATBELT OFF hit you right in the feels.
And hey—no worries: there’s a lot more on the way.
Right now, I’m deep into writing and recording our debut studio album. It’s gonna bring everything you felt in the track I dropped here—only louder, catchier, and even more dialed into our sound.
I’m also producing a live album that captures the chaos of a wild show: screaming fans, sweaty riffs, raw energy, and stage vibes that’ll make you feel like you’re right in the front row.
And sure, I know this band doesn’t hit a real stage (yet… who knows what the future holds),
but the music you’re hearing? That’s real.
It’s passion. It’s heart. It’s a dream turned into sound.
