Jaelan is from a musical family where each member plays a different instrument, despite his football ability. Jaelan is the grandson of Lynn University Conservatory of Music Dean Jon Robertson, a well-known pianist. His grandfather was born in Jamaica, the son of a priest who also played the piano and organ.
When Jon was four years old, his father became ill and required immediate treatment, which was only available in the United States. Jon began residing in California and gaining recognition in America after making his debut as a pianist at the age of nine. Furthermore, Jaelan claims that his grandfather, like him, is a football fan and supports his decision to pursue a football career.
Following in Jon’s footsteps, Jaelan’s mother began and continues to play the cello. Johnathan Philips, Jaelan’s father, is also a trumpet player. His parents were formerly symphony musicians. Jaelan was up in a musical household and learned to play the piano and guitar. Philips has an older sister, Brenna Philips (born November 26, 1997), who also appreciates music.
