The Songwriter Emerges

The first song Jasmine wrote was when she was in her late teens and needed an emotional release. Her uncle had passed away leaving the teenager unable to channel her grief. “I needed a song to sing – but there wasn’t one yet written for me” she remembers. So she picked up a guitar and created her own, “Blessing”.

It was the start of a songwriting process that would soon see Jasmine creating work on both the piano and guitar, and gigging her way around coffee shops and bars during her years at university.

Upon graduation in 2004, Jasmine decided to put the inheritance money left by her beloved uncle to good use: She flew to Los Angeles to attend the Musician’s Institute to major in Keyboard and Digital Music. Jasmine was soon under the tutelage of Lupo Groinig, producer of Hong Kong pop sensations, Soler. Hearing her raw talent, Groinig offered her a record deal with HummingBird Music.

Debut Album
Jasmine’s songwriting process is organic,and built on emotion.Her sparkling stage presence and lyricism makes her stand out from a music industry saturated with fabricated“stars”.The songs on Jasmine’s debut album are all personal: “Little Women” is tale of women’s independence.“Sound of Rain” is a tribute to her idol, Taiwanese singer Chang Yu Sheng.“Every song is like a story,”she explains.“I’m very shy, I don’t talk a lot.So when I sing I’m telling my stories, of how I feel about everything.” With her debut album released in April 2007, this is an artist to look out for in the coming months and years.
