Phoebe Bridgers' label Saddest Factory reveals jasmine.4.t as its first UK signee
Trans singer-songwriter jasmine.4.t has announced her signing to Phoebe Bridgers' label Saddest Factory Records and has shared her new single "Skin on Skin".
Based in Manchester, she is the first UK signee to Phoebe Bridgers' label Saddest Factory Records and her brand new single was produced by Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus AKA boygenius.
Jasmine came to the guitar after her late uncle passed his instrument down. Soon, she was playing in “silly skate punk bands” and self-releasing scrappy originals on Breakfast Records, the label she co-founded with friends in Bristol. She originally considered releasing her next batch of songs on her owm, and submitted demos only to Saddest Factory Records after touring with Lucy Dacus. It was Dacus who broke the news: “‘Okay, I just played your demos for Phoebe [Bridgers] in the car,’” Jasmine recounts. “‘She’s on the phone to her manager, trying to work out how she can sign you.’”
She combines performance with activism and uses her platform to advocate for trans rights and marginalised groups. “Being signed by Phoebe Bridgers is immediately going to open me up to a wider audience,” she says. “I take it seriously, just to be a visible trans woman role model in music, because there aren't that many, and there should be more.”
Jasmine is set to play a headline London show on 31 July at The Waiting Room.
"Skin On Skin" is out now via Saddest Factory Records.
