Jasmine Sandlas: Empowering Women to Embrace Their Sexy, Powerful Side
Punjabi singer Jasmine Sandlas discusses her journey in the music industry and the importance of empowering women through her art.
Jasmine Sandlas, the talented singer-songwriter, has dedicated more than ten years to carving out her niche in the competitive music scene. With exciting projects on the horizon—including her upcoming Bollywood track, Poison Baby from Thamma, and a collaborative title track for the film Dhurandhar—she firmly believes that all her songs serve a purpose. “Every song I create must inspire or empower its listeners,” she confirms.
At 40, Jasmine understands the critical view of the Punjabi music industry regarding its representation of women. To her, real empowerment lies in a woman’s ability to maintain control. “A woman can indeed be sexy and powerful as long as she directs her own narrative. Empowerment is about self-expression, not objectification,” she explains. Her latest work, an item song in Thamma, showcases choice and authentic expression at its core.
The Fusion of Tradition and Modernity
In her collaboration for Dhurandhar, Jasmine elegantly melds classical Punjabi sounds with modern influences, showcasing the versatility of female artists. “The director wanted to honor traditions while introducing a fresh perspective. I mixed Hindi and Punjabi lyrics to get just the right feel,” she shares. Her partnership with Hanumankind has been a delightful surprise, resulting in what she describes as an “epic sound” beloved by many.
Embracing Change
Jasmine sees this time as a significant transformation in her career. Having penned over 130 songs and released four albums, she reflects on her past tendencies to overanalyze. “I’ve shifted my focus from overthinking to taking action. Now, I let my instincts guide me, explore creative avenues, and dance more,” she reveals.
With more than ten million monthly listeners on streaming platforms, Jasmine recognizes her platform’s influence, particularly on her female audience. “I’m deeply aware of how my music impacts women; their stories about empowerment keep me grounded,” she concludes.
