Jasmin "Jazzo" Walters. Intoxicating. Electric. Hypnotic. Contagious. These are just a few
words used to describe the Jazzo experience. This Massachusetts born, Maryland raised
artist was exposed to creativity at a very young age. She wrote her rst mixtape at
twelve years old using a karaoke machine and cassette tapes. She went on to pursue
acting and dance before deciding to return to music. Jazzo is not limited to her sound.
She is a professional dancer and choreographer, writer, poet, and producer. She aspires
to direct and act again, she enjoys painting and crafts and she has a knack for
marketing, branding and advertising. Her drive and imagination is unmatchable. Jazzo
has so much more to show you. Keep listening.

Inspiration:
Experience. Adversity. Observation. Jazzo has a unique way of transforming adversity
and experience into masterpieces. She is her most vulnerable while creating. She has
learned to use art as safe, therapeutic space through the observation and emulation of
her multi-talented family members/friends and iconic legends such as Erykah Badu,
Sade, Dido, Lauryn Hill and Jill Scott.

Advice:
"We spend so much time thinking through decisions. Valuable, valuable time that we
waste because of our fear. Every second we spend debating whether or not we are
good enough or whether or not we will succeed, someone else is using to build.
Hesitation will leave you without your aspirations. Talent does not succeed without hard
work. And hard work supersedes talent when the talented do not take initiative."
-Jasmin "Jazzo" Walters
