Jasmine Beth

Biography

Jasmine Beth has the rare ability to tell a convincing story through her songs. Whether delivering a gritty blues or a poetic ballad, she draws in her audiences with her fresh sound and sharp, original lyrics. Jasmine’s passion for music started at a young age with studying classical piano at the age of nine and listening to an eclectic range of music, from jazz to classical to the great singer-songwriters of the ’60s and ’70s. These influences have contributed to her unique jazzy-bluesy sound. Jasmine’s original songs have received significant critical and popular attention.

Today, as a vocalist and guitarist, Jasmine draws on this wealth of knowledge in both her song writing and her unique, jazzy-bluesy interpretations of classics.

“Her lyrics are authentic and her storytelling is sincere.” – Markos Papadatos, Indie Music Editor, Suite 101.

“Jasmine’s songs ranged through a string of rhythms and meters that spoke honestly, with a sense of the poetic.” – Eric Pozza, Canberra Jazz
