Houston-born and raised in the rhythm of the '90s and early 2000s, Jasmine Bocard first found her voice behind a church keyboard, playing alongside her brother on drums. That early love of music grew into a lifelong passion—one she now brings into her work as a school counselor.
After experiencing over 300 live shows, mostly in hip-hop, Jasmine has seen firsthand how music shapes identity, connection, and emotional healing. Today, she weaves hip-hop, jazz, and genre-blending music into her counseling practice—using lyrics, rhythm, and storytelling as powerful tools to reach youth.
