Jasmine Khan

Jasmine Khan is a Sydney R&B singer-songwriter who came up the modern way: performance first, audience second, releases third. She’s had a foot in the mainstream machine, too. She was a finalist on The Voice Australia and won the Colours TV Singing Competition, representing Australia in Mumbai.

On the recorded side, she’s moved through pop, hip-hop and R&B lanes with the same intent she brings to the mic. triple j Unearthed lists her across all three genres, with Gameboy uploaded in July 2020 and getting Unearthed airtime. Unearthed’s own “sounds like” comps (Bryson Tiller, Summer Walker) are a decent shorthand for where she plays, but the appeal is simpler: she writes from real situations and keeps the delivery close, like she’s talking to one person, not a room.

Her Mood on the Roof performance of Gameboy captures that energy in a tight snapshot. It was shot as a sunset session over Sydney, and it has the kind of ease you only get from someone who’s done the reps. There’s also Coco, her chihuahua, turning the whole thing into a moment that feels like her actual life, not a press shot.
