New live acoustic project ‘Before The Dawn’

The Story Behind Jasmine’s Latest Solo-acoustic Music Project

Just as the jasmine flower blooms in the quiet of the night, our growth often comes about in the quiet, unseen moments. ‘Before the Dawn’ came in the quiet winter season of my life. After 2020 lock-downs, numerous health challenges and a divorce, these gentle compassionate songs of healing came as medicine for my soul. Like a candle in the night, they brought the light of hope and warmth to grief and heaviness and rekindled my heart’s flame and devotion to life itself. By the time these songs had blossomed into completion, I found myself in a new home with jasmine flowers in bloom. These small unassuming flowers gift their beautiful fragrance in the silence of night as though meant for the hearts that listen in stillness. They became a symbol and inspiration for the mood and medicine of these songs, which I pray can support others during a dark night of the soul to shed the illusions and to come into full presence with oneself as we are, from the heart space.
