The group disbanded in 2005, but Jasmine continued her association with the anime/manga genre, writing songs for the soundtrack of Armitage: Dual Matrix, which starred Juliette Lewis.

Boa went on to record two albums, achieving renown in the Americas, France and Japan, after their single ‘Duvet’ featured in the anime series Serial Experiments Lain. This changed when her older brother Steve, on hearing the ethereal beauty of Jasmine’s voice, asked her to sing with him and they formed the group Boa. But given her love for art and zoology (in which she has a degree), music was initially a passionate pastime rather than a full-time pursuit. “ Born into an artistic family – her mother a Japanese poet, her father the legendary vocalist Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company, Queen) – Jasmine Rodgers knew her way around both keyboard and fretboard before she even enrolled at secondary school. Before I continue my point, let me introduce her to you: Jasmine Rodgers is someone who knows what it takes to make it. Too many musicians get blind-sided by the harshness of the industry: what it takes to succeed and how challenging it can all be. That is not to say- by proxy of their D.N.A.- they have an edge and will be naturally talented- they will have the experience and know a lot about the industry. Those that have had that distinct musical education- well-known parents or a very musical family- have that edge and additional education. It is always pleasing seeing genuinely great musicians make their way- regardless of their background. They will work hard and raise money to produce songs. A lot of today’s artists go through music school or find their own path: something quite ‘traditional’ and ordinary. From Eliot Sumner- Sting’s daughter formerly I Am Coco- there is inherent pressure to succeed and ‘prove yourself’. With Jasmine Rodgers being a second-generation musician: I have been compelled to investigate other (children of musicians) examples. You do not often encounter artists that hail from such creative and arty beginnings. What fascinates me about new musicians is their background: especially those that herald from an artistic/musical background. If doesn’t matter what start you had in life how wealthy you are: talent and determination are the most important, and underrated assets, you require. Entering the music profession is a risky and unsure thing.
Before I come to my featured artist, I wanted to look at the children of musical legends the importance of traveling (conducive to adventurous music) and reinventing the Folk genre. The music is not just confined to certain genres and ‘types’: there's a smorgasbord and vast array of sounds and styles. There is so much wonder, joy, and quality to be found in London.
I try and extricate myself from the city now and then: invariably I am drawn back to the wonderful music. It is back in my favourite place: London. The album, Blood Red Sun, will be released later this year.ĪFTER a (kind of brief) exploitation to Australian and American music.
