Donnie Yen (甄子丹) is one proud papa. His daughter – Jasmine Yen (甄濟如) – is officially making her debut as a singer in the music industry with the release of her dynamic debut single titled “idk”. If you’ve been following her on socials, you’d know that this talented beauty is no stranger to performing in public.
Raised in Hong Kong, the 19-year-old artiste has been composing as early as 7 years old! To date, Jasmine has written over 70 songs. In fact, almost half of them were written during the pandemic. With this new journey, Jasmine hopes to inspire a generation of bold and confident girls.
“idk” is a light-hearted pop-R&B tune that explores a girl’s journey to discovering autonomy in a relationship and self-love. The lyrics conveys a clear message: follow your heart, and don’t sacrifice your joy for someone else. To love others, you must first learn to love yourself. In addition to her new single, Jasmine will also be performing unreleased material from her upcoming album when she performs in Singapore (Majulah Music Night) on 30th July.
On signing with RCA (a division of Sony Music Entertainment) for her debut project, Jasmine shares “I feel blessed to find my musical home in RCA Records Greater China. This is an amazing opportunity for me to pursue my dreams as an artist and singer.”
“When I was first introduced to Jasmine’s demos in 2021, I was intrigued by her distinct vocal tone and instinct for writing commercial hits. She displayed an understanding and focus to her artistic vision that was mature beyond her peers. It is a pleasure to play a role in developing and unveiling Jasmine’s craft to the world, and grow her fanbase in Asia and beyond,” said Ruth Ling, General Manager, RCA Records Greater China.
RCA Records Greater China’s Managing Director Kevin Foo added, “Jasmine Yen is the perfect example of a modern day artist, an innate talent, with a unique story that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. I am excited that RCA is partnering with her at the start of her journey, and am filled with anticipation of where this journey will take us together.”
