William Jeffrey Lett was born on January 18, 1980, in Melbourne, Florida, and is the younger of 2 children. He is the bassist and does backup vocals for the band Cartel. He moved to Conyers, Georgia at the age of 16. This is where he met the other future members of Cartel.

Jeff started playing bass at the age of 19, and shortly afterwards moved to Brooklyn with the band he was in called SpiritWorld. After a two year stint of small shows in Manhattan and Brooklyn, he decided to call it quits and move back to Atlanta. For the next few years, he didn't touch a bass, and enjoyed his job working as a bartender. In May of 2005, he received a call from the manager of Cartel, as they were unsure of the future of their current bassist. Quickly learning to play Cartel's songs, he played his first show with the band 2 weeks later, and has been playing with the band ever since.
