Jasmine Kara was born 1988 in a small Swedish town to an Iranian father and a Swedish mother. Even as a little girl she knew that music was her calling. Jasmine started performing at talent shows and took every chance she could get to get up on the stage. Singing and exploring new music was exciting.

She started travelling the world, determined to find a way to make a living as a performing artist. When Jasmine arrived in New York she immediately knew she had come home.
The city’s music scene in general and it’s jazz, blues and R&B clubs in particular made her realise that this was where she belonged.
