Early Life and Education
Getter was born and grew up in Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia. In 2015, she finished her studies at a night school and earned her high school diploma. Getter also has family roots from Russia.
Getter's Music and Acting Career
Getter Jaani first became famous in Estonia in 2009. She was a contestant on Eesti otsib superstaari, which is like the Estonian version of the TV show Pop Idol. She finished fourth in the competition. Her performances helped her get a role as Sharpay Evans in the Estonian version of High School Musical.
In 2011, Getter represented Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. Her song was "Rockefeller Street". She placed 24th in the final round. That same year, she also joined Tantsud tähtedega, which is Estonia's version of Dancing with the Stars.
The next year, in 2012, Getter announced the scores for Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan. In 2013, she played the role of Sandy in the famous musical Grease.
Getter's Eurovision song "Rockefeller Street" later became very popular online as an internet meme. This happened after a video of two Chinese men playing a faster, higher-pitched version of the song (called "Nightcore") on a rhythm game called osu! went viral. Their dance moves also became popular on apps like TikTok and YouTube in 2018. Getter herself talked about this in 2019, saying the original song felt like a lullaby compared to the faster meme version.
