Jasmine Ying Thompson is a British singer-songwriter and YouTube star from London. The 16-year-old wunderkind is best known for her acoustic cover version of Chaka Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody” which reached number 32 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2014, Thomson lent her vocals to Robin Schulz’s “Sun Goes Down”. The shop peaked in the top 10 in many countries including Australia and Germany.
Thompson recently released her fourth EP Wonderland. A followup to 2015’s Adore, Wonderland relates the singer’s upbringing, growing up and coming of age in the city. It’s also about the confusion one feels as a young adult – or, even, as a grown-up – and affirms that there’s something ultimately sweet about not really knowing. “A lot of the songs on the EP talk about feeling lost and confused,” Thompson says. “For the past year I’ve been thinking, “What’s my life supposed to be like?’ It’s addressing the fact that no one has a clue what’s going on.”
She may be young, but she’s also been through a lot and she spends much of her time considering how life works and why we do the things we do.
