Welcome back to Shay & The Good People podcast! Jasmine Jang was born and raised in New York-based songwriter. We had a delightful conversation about growing up sheltered, finding your community in college, no drugs, and not writing love songs. Jasmine has such a grounding presence that you can feel in person and hear in her lyrics. Jasmine has such a strong mission as a musician. I am really inspired by Jasmine’s approach to her process. Jasmine is also the Co-Founder and Show Director at Keepsake House, a home for independent artists to share the stage and make memories out of live performances. I know you’re going to enjoy this conversation!
In this ep, we talk about:
An artist’s complicated relationship with social media.
Jasmine’s core values of making music.
Jasmine’s Patreon and how the platform feels like an exchange of stories. It can be a really nice antidote to social media.
Jasmine’s 2 main tools of songwriting: Voice memos and notebooks.
We both write very few love songs. What’s up with that?
How we think everyone should be in therapy.
Realities of what a pandemic did to musicians.
How I’m obsessed with her song ‘Morning Joe’
Keepsake House!
Jasmine played on the August 8th, 2022 show of Shay & The Good People.
