Yasmine is a Paris-based singer-composer-lyricist and producer with a knack for subtle soulful jazz melodies and a distinctive vocal style.
Somehow she manages to sound both fresh and sophisticated, both classic and new, all at the same time. A convenient shortcut could be something like: Melody Gardot meets Erykah Badu.
Yasmine loves to blend styles and isn't much concerned with labels. Only the music and artistic expression matter. She's created something that is all her, yet borrows from an ever-widening spectrum (classic jazz vocalists, afro, latin, blues & soul, hip hop...).
Her first album 'Earth Woman' features a collection of sensitive soul ballads, with a warm acoustic production that speaks to virtually all possible types of music lovers.

Discover now the new single from the upcoming second album 'Mythical Creatures' (October 2013 release-Musicast).
'Get By, Get By', is an elegantly produced love song to jazz and blues, with a hint of nu soul and hip hop, where Yasmine's soulful vocals reach new heights of sensitivity.
