Jasmine Armando – 2Many.raw

Aged 22, Jasmine moved to Paris in September 2017 after growing up in Marrakech. Attracted to writing and music from a young age, Jasmine tried her hand at many artistic practices, beginning film directing studies at EICAR before taking various theater and film courses, which led her to play the lead role in a feature film in Morocco and to direct three short films.

Upon her arrival in Paris, Jasmine turned to music, her first love, and, through various encounters, began recording a large number of demos, mainly influenced by American hip-hop (Mac Miller, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler The Creator) and by current urban pop (Frank Ocean, 070Shake…).

Discovered by chance by Cheers Mgmt (Thomas Soligny/Pierre Lautier), Jasmine met Lorent Idir (member of the group Twin Twin, producer and musical editor (SPNG Records // SQUID), who took her under his wing and accompanied her in the writing of her first tracks and in the setting up of arrangements.
