A singer who moved from reality TV to writing her own songs about anxiety and independence.
For a sense of where she landed, listen to 'I Found You' and 'No one.' They're straightforward, unguarded songs that frame her later sound pretty well.
She started with a Kendrick Lamar feature on 'That's Me Right There' back in 2007, but her own material like 'I Found You' and 'No one' feels more personal. Those songs came after she'd talked openly about dealing with depression. It's a shift from the pop hopeful to someone writing her own way through things.
Her debut on 'America's Got Talent' led to the album 'Jasmine' in 2009. Later work like 'The Other Side' and songs such as 'Play With Fire' showed a move toward more self-directed material, even as she collaborated with artists like Chris Brown and Tyga.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
