EXCLUSIVE! Being Jasmine

Jasmine One The team and I take a look into Jasmines life in order to uncover who ‘Jasmine One’ really is...

I

visited Jasmines family home of a quaint little town in west Yorkshire to get an insight of her roots, I was welcomed with a gigantic hug from Jasmine in a oversized jumper and fluffy socks, as if I were just visiting an old friend! We sat in her cosy cottage and sipped tea whilst looking through pictures of her past as she passionately described to me previous family holidays and birthdays; filling me in on the details of birthday mishaps and great adventures that she has had with her two older brothers, mum and dad.

It was at this point where I saw a completely different side to Jasmine. She is not just a city girl - but well grounded and down to earth. There is no surprise as to why she is adored by all of her fans, not to mention her family and friends!

to inspire her music and life!

However she absolutely adores coming home and feeling like a normal teenager with her family around the fireplace. “My parents definitely are the reason why I’ve stayed grounded” Jasmine states as she clambers onto the couch and hands me a blanket. I learn that growing up, Jasmine was always taught that:

in genre preference that made Jasmine the girl she is today, she listens to anything and everything.

However she prominently loves R&B which is her main staple in her music albums and clothing choices as she describes it as “cool, it suits my personality and well... it’s just me.”

“I really don’t like those celebrities that let fame get to their big heads, like it is so annoying” Jasmine says as she rolls her eyes. She informs me that it was quite tricky in the beginning for her; she didn’t know who to trust, who her real friends were and who were just sticking around for a second in the Jasmines parents ensured that limelight. the fun loving and edgy teenager was always kept in line, and this didn’t change even after her sudden rise to stardom! We also chat about how Jasmines parents were a great inspiration to her This architectural abode differed music “it’s why my albums are vastly from the modern and all over the place, trust me! My she exhales, her thick mahogany flashy condo that she lives in parents love every style of music, hair swishes as she shakes her now. The tall Tudor ceilings and it’s exhausting” when growing up, head. I can tell at this point that old fashioned structure contrasts jasmine would sing along to the Jasmine has been messed about in deeply to Jasmine’s glass walls music that her mum or dad played the past and is not willing to let this and 72 inch plasma TV in London. in the car (according to whoever happen again, she has now grown and matured from the time that Jasmine describes that she won the squabble of course). she first became famous and this loves having her own space to personalise to however she likes, It was her parents great variety has had a positive impact on her views and outlook on life. Jasmine making her entire flat suited

wants friends that completely understand her, in a way that fame hungry people wouldn’t, she states that when she comes off stage and after meeting fans at meet and greets, it all gets a bit too much and she just wants to kick back and relax and do normal teenage things. “Like have a sleepover with my best girls, what could be better? Chocolate, gossip and hot actors!” Jasmine talks about how that was her inspiration for her up and coming album ‘One’

“Im taking it back to basics” Jasmine really wants to bring back who she is and show that to the world. “I feel like I didn’t really get that through with my first album, I mean I love the music I made but I’m ready to show everyone who I really am”

Jasmines new album ‘One’ will be released on April 1st 2015 (don’t miss it!)

She discusses that this up and coming album has many influences from everyday normal life; heart breaks, friendships and “just everything!”

“Having 2 brothers has given me an edge and a ‘not afraid to get my hands dirty’ attitude to life, I want to do everything... scary things excite me!” I learn that since Jasmine was young, she has always had a head on and life-loving attribute, she loves to enjoy every moment and tries to take every opportunity that she is given. Jasmine tells me about her loving and volatile relationship that she has with her brothers

72. February 2015

“one minute we’re outside play fighting and the next we’re buying each other clothes” she likes it though, she proclaims that her brothers have given her a great back bone and support system; she knows not to let anyone mess with her and at the end of the day to appreciate everything you have before it’s gone.

Next jasmine shows us her old bedroom, but of course the first thing we did was look straight into her wardrobe! “See I pretty much have the same style as I did a few years ago, just it’s a bit more mature and 3 times the price” she laughs. She leaves me to rummage through her closet, flicking through great amounts of crop tops, high waited jeans, dresses and glitzy tops; picking out pieces I adore and even some that I absolutely hate!

cute”, Jasmine expresses that she loves being able to come back here when everything gets a bit hectic in London, and that it reminds her of her roots and who she is.

On departing Jasmines beautiful home, I thought of how I had grown so close to her in just a matter of hours and how I feel as if I have made a lifelong friend, she truly is a great girl and the ‘Rhythmik’ team absolutely love her. The great thing about jasmine is that she has a great sense of humour, isn’t afraid to laugh at herself and certainly doesn’t take life too seriously! Jasmine proves to be a great role model for young ladies everywhere; her values and traits really are inspiring

“That’s my mother’s I swear” she shouts as I laugh and pick out a green woolly turtle neck jumper, resembling something that I could imagine Lady Gaga wearing on laundry day.

Aside from her interesting wardrobe choices, Jasmines bedroom looked similiar t o any teenager of her age, scattered in music CDs, clothes and makeup. One describes that her favorite thing about her room is the view from the window out onto the vast green fields of the yorkshire countryside. She describes all of long summer days she spent out with her friends and brothers in and around the village, from the bike rides to the water fights - she always enjoyed her break from school. She loves her little town and the fact that “everyone knows everyone! It’s so
