United States-based Punjabi singer Jasmine Sandlas hardly needs any introduction. Jasmine Sandlas has made a fan following for herself after delivering multiple hit songs both in Punjabi film industry as well as in the Hindi film industry- Bollywood.
Jasmine Sandlas recently featured in Shubhankar Mishra's podcast in which she spilled the beans on her personal as well as professional life. Jasmine Sandlas informed the podcaster that she is currently learning Hindi from someone.
For the unversed, Jasmine Sandlas moved to California, US at the age of 12. Ever since then she has lived in the United States. She originally hails from Jalandhar, Punjab.
Jasmine Sandlas confirmed to the podcaster that she used to distribute CDs by standing outside clubs of the US. What is worth eyebrow raising when she said that when she revealed that she could not have reached where she is today if she had lived in Jalandhar or India as her family used to criticise her. Below is what the Illegal Weapon singer said-
There was a simple setup in one of my friend's garage in California, US. He/she had a mic and I had my voice. Then I said lets record it. How will we tell the world that we want to sing. We recorded the voice but there was no music. Then I thought that DJ makes music. We did not know that there is a producer or music director at that time.
So, I thought we will stand outside clubs and will say that whosoever the DJ here should call me because I want to make an album. Then, I got a call. My number was written on CD. I made the CD overnight. We then went to San Francisco. We stood outside a club. I had only $20.
When people were coming outside after finishing the clubbing, we started distributing CDs to everyone. We did this for multiple weeks. Then one day I got a call 'hey what's up Jasmin' (Bohemia)."
Jasmine was standing outside clubs and distributing CDs. People in California often used to do this, especially rappers. It was a culture there. There is so much hunger and passion there. If I would have stayed in Jalandhar or India, I could not have done this. In fact, I would not be here where I am today. Because in our family it is said that how will you become a singer. You are not even trained. I don't wanna speak much else I will start talking about everyone."
