Jazmine's parents are Cuban and she was born in Long Island, NY. Putting her studies on hold for a while, Jazmine sang in several amateur contests in Florida with overwhelming success. Eventually she met her manager, Jake Hyytia, from Panther Enterprises. Together they decided to start her career in Europe. Since she is a perfectionist, Jazmine spent one year preparing her show and seeking composers to collaborate with.
Jazmine's original material is in both English and Spanish. Her songs range from slow sensual ballads to dance music. Currently Jazmine has co- written and co-produced all of her music.
She began her tour around European discos and clubs with immediate success. Jazmine's performances have included hundreds of Nightclubs, several European Summer Festivals, radio and TV appearances. She has also performed many times in different Cruise Lines in Europe. The last one was Jazmine's Christmas Show, on M/S Silja Festival between Finland and Sweden.
While signed to K-TEL (Finland) for one album, Jazmine’s first single achieved international success. In January 1996, "Love Like Never Before" rose to the # 1 position in the Top Dance- chart of France for two weeks, dropping Madonna to # 2 and passing for example same week entries from Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi and Whitney Houston. It remained on the chart for 21 weeks, from which 14 weeks were in the Top 10. Jazmine’s second single “Woman In Love” was released in several European countries.
European success has inspired Jazmine to introduce herself to the USA. She made her debut to the Latin-American community by participating in the TV show, “Sueños De Fama”. She sung in eight episodes in the show, which aired on Telemundo worldwide starting late 1998.
Jazmine appeared on the WB network TV-show “PopStars” in January 2001. She also made her first appearance as a “Whitney Houston” impersonator on “Your Big Break”, a Dick Clark Productions / Buena Vista Television production, which aired nationwide from November 2000 thru August 2001. She subsequently performed in several corporate events.
For the past 6 years, Jazmine has been performing as a Whitney Houston "Look-and-Sound-a-Like" for "Legends in Concert" in their venues around the world, including: Universal Studios, Osaka, Japan; Branson, Missouri; Hollywood, Florida; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Atlantic City, New Jersey and Las Vegas, Nevada.
