Jasmine got her inspiration for singing from her mother.

Got inspiration for singing from mother

Jasmine Sandlas was born on 4 September 1985 in Jalandhar, Punjab. He belongs to an ordinary Punjabi family. Since childhood, he got inspiration for singing from his mother, who encouraged him to sing. She started singing on stage since her school days and started writing songs at an early age.

America’s Journey: Searching for a Better Future

When he was around 12-13 years old, his family shifted to California. She also lived in New York in the initial period. He did not know English, so he had to take admission in the local school. His father had a high-profile job in India and was a law school topper, but left everything for a better future for the children.

Struggle in America: Poverty, Menial Work, and Difficult Conditions

The family faced difficult circumstances in America. The family of six lived in a small room and depended on food coupons. The father had to do odd jobs and even worked at a petrol pump. Mother used to work as a laborer in a factory and pluck cherries.

Inclination towards studies and music

Jasmine completed her studies in America. He studied graduation and pre-law in psychology, but his mind was always in music.

Jasmine Sandlas said in Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast – We reached New York. I did not know English. Whatever was the local school, father got us admission there. We lived in a small apartment, which was for a poor family and there were six of us.

Papa sacrificed his whole life

My father used to work in a high profile job in India. He was a law school topper, but after going to America one has to study or work for 3-4 years. That’s why Papa sacrificed his entire life for us.

I think his first job in America was at a petrol pump, where he filled petrol. I remember, he was sitting in the snow and had no shoes on his feet. When asked he said that snow shoes are very expensive.

Life was run by food coupons

We lived in houses meant for people below the poverty line, so we got food coupons. My mother worked in a factory and picked cherries. She worked there as a labourer.

When we moved to California, my father re-entered the legal profession and became an interpreter. After this our financial condition became better.

Rift in relationships, death of father and broken heart

Jasmine admitted that the relationship between her and her parents was not easy. She says- The relationship between me and my family has been full of ups and downs. A lot was breaking me inside. When I was 23 years old, my father passed away. At that time I was doing fine in my career, but was broken from within.

alcohol addiction and regrets

This pain pushed Jasmine into a phase where she lost herself. She says- I drowned myself in alcohol. I used to drink too much and still regret it. He was my support at that time. I kept wandering my whole life in search of such peace and home, which I could not find in my childhood.

I started feeling weak and helpless

My mother and family helped me a lot in my recovery. He loved me even when I was broken. My biggest battle was with myself. It was difficult at that time, because as soon as the day started, I would get stuck in old habits. I prayed to God- ‘Please save me, just give me one more chance.

I was feeling very helpless. To come out of that phase, it takes courage to say ‘no’ to things. Family support is important, do not run away from them. When I removed toxic things from life, it felt as if I had got a new life.

The real struggle started from the clubs of Delhi

Making a mark in the music industry was not easy. Between 2007 and 2010, he performed in clubs, cafes and local events in Delhi. At that time there was neither a big platform nor a strong support system, but he did not give up.

She herself wrote, composed and recorded songs and made mix CDs. She used to sell them for Rs 20, so that more people could access her music. This struggle and hard work became the foundation of his career.

Jasmine started her career in 2008 with the independent song ‘Muskaan’.

Career beginnings and first album

Jasmine’s career started in 2008 with the independent song ‘Muskaan’, which gave her recognition. In the same year, his first album ‘The Diamond’ was released, in which his Western-Punjabi fusion was appreciated and he gained recognition in the music industry.

Got recognition from ‘Gulaabi’, became the turning point of career

The album ‘Gulaabi’ released in 2012 became a big turning point in his career. In this he worked with rapper Bohemia, who was a big name in the international Punjabi music industry at that time.

‘Gulaabi’ emerged as a music style with a fusion of Western beats and Punjabi lyrics, which attracted the youth. His voice, bold style and attitude gave him a different identity.

After this success, she got the tag of ‘Pink Queen’, which is her identity even today. This song made him popular in India as well as among the international audiences.

Got a big break in Bollywood with Salman’s ‘Kick’

Jasmine got her big chance in Bollywood in 2014 with ‘Kick’, in which Salman Khan was in the lead role. In this film he sang ‘Yaar Na Mile’ with Yo Yo Honey Singh. This track became a chartbuster as soon as it was released and became a part of party, club and radio playlists.

His voice added a different energy to the song, which the audience liked. Its success gave him recognition in Bollywood and opened the doors to bigger projects. After this, he gave many hit songs and created a unique place in the industry, where his voice and style became recognized.

Created a distinct identity through hit songs

Jasmine has given many hit songs, which include ‘Illegal Weapon 2.0’ and ‘Sip Sip’ from ‘Street Dancer 3D’, ‘Baby Besharam’ from ‘Naam Shabana’, ‘Taras Ni Aaya Tujhko’ from ‘Munjya’, ‘Nasha’ from ‘Raid 2’, ‘Poison Baby’ from ‘Thama’ and ‘Ban Ke Dikha Ikkis’ from ‘Ikkis’.

Apart from this, he has also given voice in many Punjabi films and albums. The fusion of Punjabi beats and western style is special in his songs.

New heights from ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Dhurandhar 2’

The film ‘Dhurandhar’ and its sequel ‘Dhurandhar 2’ gave a new lease of life to Jasmine’s career. The songs of these films ‘Shararat’, ‘Jaaye Sajna’, ‘Aari Aari’ and ‘Main Aur Tu’ again brought him into the limelight.

The special thing was that he completed the recording of a song by the morning of its release, which shows his dedication and professionalism. His voice and expression gave a different identity to the songs, which increased their craze further.
