Born in Punjab and raised in California, Jasmine Sandlas has an East-meets-West heritage that’s helped her stand out among Punjabi playback's most beguiling singers. • Born in Jalandhar, Sandlas was raised in a Sikh family and spent her formative years inspired by Punjabi folk singers. At age 13, she moved with her family to Stockton, California, adding the music of the US West Coast to her palette of influences. • By 16, Sandlas was writing her own material, rooted in the style of her Punjabi inspirations but undoubtedly inflected with Western pop stylings. • As a recording artist, Sandlas has spun many plates in her career to date, including prolific playback work across three languages as well as stylistically diverse solo pop albums and collaborations with the rapper Bohemia. • Her versatility has allowed her to collaborate internationally, from the fizzing disco intensity of “Aaja Dance Floor Pe”—her collab with Ramji Gulati—to the atmospheric electronica of “Baddal” with Canadian producer Intense. • Through all of her musical twists and turns, Sandlas’ calling card has remained her relentless positivity; she describes herself as an empath and extols the virtues of music’s power to unite people.
