Jasmine Denham: Touring with Nelly Furtado, Navigating Midlife in the Music Industry
from The FxCK YOU 50s · host Andrea Claire
I sit down with Jasmine Denham, a phenomenal musician whose career is a masterclass in evolution. With a resume that spans decades and continents, Jasmine has navigated every facet of the music industry—from performing on world stages with Sisterella - an MJJ / Michael Jackson production and as a touring backup vocalist for Nelly Furtado to shared "sparkling moments" with icons like Prince and Pharrell. Beyond the spotlight, Jasmine is a seasoned songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur. She has penned hits for Juno-nominated artists, earned a SOCAN No. 1, and served as a musical director for The Next Star. Today, she balances her work as a music curator, a juror for the Polaris Music Prize with her role as the founder of The Stop, her own studio and music school where she mentors the next generation of talent. In this conversation, we explore: The Power of the Pivot: Moving from international backup vocalist to an influential industry artist and entrepreneur. Industry Realities: The truth of being a woman of colour in a male-dominated field and why kindness is the ultimate career currency. Health & Resurgence: Navigating the creative and physical challenges of chronic migraines and perimenopause while reclaiming her voice. Legacy and Education: How her school is empowering artists to own their craft, just as she has. Your voice only gets stronger with time.
