Personal background

Jasmine was born into a family of mixed ethnic backgrounds, including people of Hispanic and Italian descent. Jasmine was born in Los Angeles, California, but she and her family moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when she was eight years old.[3] Before she became a singer, Jasmine took up cheerleading, but due to a constant strain on her vocal cords from yelling and shouting, Jasmine decided to give up cheerleading to pursue a career in music. Jasmine became interested in music when she was twelve years old.[4]
