The woman behind the project is Jasmin Mote, and that she was in the band ’’JASMIN’’ from 2017-2022. The band played concerts in Denmark, Norway, Iceland and of course the Faroe Islands. They also played at Uhørt Festival (2021), Sørveiv Festival (2019) and G! festival (2018 and 2019)

After releasing two EP’s, winning three Faroese Music Awards and travelling to play concerts, Jasmin felt that it was time for her to take a break from JASMIN. And she did. She travelled to Stockholm and did nothing but being creative and wrote 10 songs in all. She got to expirement with the music and found a sound that feels like the real her. Since then she’s been back and forth in Stockholm a few times and she recently travelled to London as well to write music.

Jasmin herself is from the Faroe Islands with roots in Kenya. She writes about life in her 20’s, too much partying, too many hangovers, too many heartaches, dying her hair red, being tired of her friends and cheering to new beginnings. She’s honest and maybe a bit too real? that’s definetly something you can feel in her voice, lyrics and music. And besides that, she melts the RnB and soulpop perfectly.

As a woman of colour, she didn’t really have anyone to mirror herself in when she was little and that’s one of the reasons she wanted to start this project as well. She wants the younger generation in her country and around the world to relate to her music and see someone who looks like her make it in the real world, even though you’re from a tiny little place called the Faroe Islands.
