Jethwa’s journey to singing begins in a melting pot of Western and Indian culture, influenced by the personal stories of her London upbringing and with a mesmerising, natural command for melody and harmonies. Born and raised in South London, Jasmine wasn’t always set on being a musician. As a child, she used to visit her Grandad who worked his way up 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. After watching these performances of sinuous dancers in front of a backdrop of beautiful scenery, Jasmine fell head over heels for dance.

She recently released Same Streets But I Don’t See You Around, a mesmerising EP, which deals with  he fallout of romantic heartbreak. Tracks like ‘Golden’ are a stunning look at people who are on differnt pages, trying and failing to make it work. Sometimes the record is gentle, sometimes it’s acerbic (on ‘Money to Burn’ she laments, “If I had a penny every time you cared, I’d be poor as a poet in a broken bed”). The release is also grounded in a period of time that has seen the world change, where the grief of losing people is more prevalent than ever before. Some of these things are directly conveyed on the record, and there is a sense of spirituality and candour of feeling that floats through. For Jasmine, this is rooted in her South London upbringing: “There’s a sense of community I’ve grown up with. I like the idea of being accessible, I want the music to be like open-arms – I think that aspect of growing up here has affected my character, and I want that to be in my music.”
