Blending Soul, Identity, and Empowerment, Xazmine Joins The Able Show for an Exclusive Interview and Performance Showcasing Her Journey and Creative Vision.
Early Life and Background
Xazmine, known professionally by her first name and stylized on social media as @iamxazmine, is a rising singer-songwriter rooted in the rich cultural landscape of the Bay Area, California. With a heritage that reflects African American, Palestinian, and Israeli backgrounds, Xazmine's unique identity informs the stories she tells through her music. From a young age, she was drawn to the emotive power of music, using it as a tool for self-expression, healing, and connection. Raised in a household where cultural traditions blended seamlessly, she developed an early appreciation for soulful melodies, spiritual depth, and cross-cultural storytelling—all of which would later shape her sonic identity.
Musical Roots & Influences
Both classic soul legends and modern R&B pioneers deeply inspire Xazmine's sound. She draws from the raw emotion and technical brilliance of vocalists like Etta James and Sam Cooke, while also channeling the artistry and stage presence of performers like Beyoncé. These influences have helped her create a style that is both timeless and contemporary. Her music is known for its soulful resonance, emotionally honest lyrics, and a fusion of genres that mirror her multicultural upbringing. Whether she's performing a cover of an old-school classic or releasing original work, Xazmine's artistry is unmistakably her own—rooted in passion, vulnerability, and purpose.
Education & Move to Los Angeles
In 2021, determined to pursue her dreams on a larger stage, Xazmine moved to Los Angeles, one of the world's most influential music capitals. She enrolled at the Musicians Institute, where she studied music performance and vocal technique. The formal training she received helped refine her talent and introduced her to a network of emerging musicians, producers, and mentors. However, after two years, Xazmine made the courageous decision to leave the institute and pursue her career full-time. She felt a calling to step outside the traditional academic route and dive fully into her creative process—trusting her voice, her intuition, and her lived experiences to guide the next chapter of her journey.
Career Milestones & Recognition
Xazmine's professional music career took off in 2018, when she gained recognition for her powerful rendition of Barbara Mason's "Yes I'm Ready." Her performance earned her the title of Youth Global Peace Leader at the Art for Peace Awards—an honor that acknowledged both her talent and her commitment to using music as a force for good. Since then, she has graced the stages of renowned venues such as Yoshi's in Oakland and The Ice House in Los Angeles, performing at high-profile events including New Year's galas and cultural festivals.
In 2023, Xazmine signed with AudioDream Records, marking a significant turning point in her professional journey. With the backing of the label and her management team, she began working on her debut studio EP, which was released in the summer of 2024. Her growing catalog includes singles that showcase her vocal versatility, lyrical depth, and genre-blending creativity.
In 2024, she released her second single, "Lifeline", produced by the notable @300ways. The song reflected themes of emotional resilience, self-worth, and the sacred connection between mind, body, and spirit. Accompanying the single was an immersive experience called "Planet X", a conceptual release event that introduced fans to her evolving artistic universe.
Her third release, "Angel", offered a more vulnerable side of Xazmine, allowing listeners to hear her stripped-down vocals and poetic lyricism. It further affirmed her status as a storyteller whose music transcends the surface and speaks directly to the heart.
