Possessing one of the country's most esteemed and idiosyncratic folk voices, Jazmine Mary's masterful song-writing is matched only by their artistry. 

They make music not to earn a living, but to survive, and it’s through their songwriting that Jazmine Mary feels tethered to something tangible, a constant. It’s the action of translating their experiences into poetic folk compositions that helps in "understanding parts of the beauty and ugliness of the world", and which might help listeners do so themselves.

They have played in support of Kurt Vile, Billy Bragg, Gang of Youths, and toured the country in support of Reb Fountain, as well as won the Best Independent Debut at the 2022 Taite Music Awards for their album 'The Licking of a Tangerine'. To top it off their critically acclaimed sophomore album 'Dog' was named one of Aotearoa's Top 25 albums by Rolling Stone Magazine.
