Jasmine Jethwa

Influenced by personal stories of her South-East London upbringing, Jasmine grew up amongst a ‘melting pot’ of Western and Indian cultures. Not always set on being a musician, as a child she watched her grandfather’s career journey, from humble beginnings in North Shields to becoming a successful scenic painter creating backdrops and sets for countless theatre shows and Ballets across London and the world. Going on to study dance herself, it was hearing live rehearsals across school hallways that motivated her own songwriting journey.

Citing musical influences from Bon Iver and Fontaines D.C. to the Hindi songs from Bollywood films Jasmine watched growing up with her Gujarati grandmother, music became Jasmine’s emotional outlet.
