Jasmine (stylized as JASMINE) (born May 19, 1989), is a Japanese singer and songwriter from Tokyo. She is represented by Sony Music Japan, and is a DJ for the Japanese radio station J-Wave. In June 2009 she released her debut single "Sad to Say". Described as "the next Hikaru Utada", Jasmine cites Utada as her influence.
Jasmine first experienced singing at thirteen years old, in a gospel choir at Yokota Air Base. It was here that her interest in gospel music began.[1] the single later peaked at number ten in its second week.[4] It was also a top twenty single on the Oricon chart, debuting at number fifteen.
Jasmine returned in 2010 with set of three singles, each released within a month of each other. The first of the three, "This Is Not a Game", was released on March 3 and was limited to 10,000 copies. The song was used the opening theme for NTV's Music Fighter that month. A cover of "My Life, My Love, My All" by Kirk Franklin was featured as the single's b-side, a reference to Jasmine's gospel roots.[8]
Over a year after her debut, Jasmine's debut album, Gold, was released throughout Japan on July 21, 2010.[10] After that, Jasmine held her first national tour JASMINE LIVE TOUR 2010〜GOLD〜 with 7 dates.
Her 6th single was released in February 2011, ONE, produced by Norgewian team Stargate. In the same year, she released the single Only One. In 2012, she released the single Best Partner. In 2013, she released the singles High Flying and HERO, changing her sound to contemporary EDM.
