What got you into music, and if you had no gotten into music what would you be doing today? Jasmine: On my dad’s side of the family I had 2 aunts who were musical and they were a huge influence on me when I was growing up. Then when I was 10, I was given an acoustic guitar by my parents. I was pretty disappointed at the time, because I was hoping for a drum kit! I took classical guitar lessons for a couple years before quitting and then didn’t pick it up again until high school. I was motivated to do so when I saw a lot of my friends were learning how to play for the first time. My mom actually was the first person to suggest writing songs when I was in my early teens, but I was very rebellious against anything she wanted me to do…so she suggested it to my friend and told her to tell me it would be fun…and I fell for it! My friend, Kristie Graves, and I then started to write songs together and we eventually started an all girl band with the help of our other mutual friend Megan Kloster. Kristie is an AMAZING writer. I wish I was as gifted with words.
