“I wrote this back when I was in music school struggling with the reality of pursuing one’s dream in a society that tries so hard to fit us into a box. Sometimes the act of simply surviving felt so soul-crushing that I wasn’t sure my music was enough to get me through. In that desperation I asked myself ‘is this what dreams become?’ I think the honesty of that question has endured through the years, even though now I’m grateful to find that there was so much more on the other side of that suffering. This song is an offering to anyone out there struggling in a similar way.” – Yazmin

About Yazmin
Yazmin is an accomplished pianist, vocalist, dancer, teacher, and award-winning singer-songwriter and painter. She has performed both as a solo artist and with a diverse range of bands, theaters, and shows since the age of 8. Weaving between modalities in whatever way serves her radically authentic voice, Yazmin creates to inspire, open, connect, and embrace joy.
In her teens, Yazmin discovered a passion for Cuban music and dance, performing in and leading several bands from 2006 onward, including her current group, the bilingual folk/rock Latin-fusion Beat Zero. She began studying with master Latin music educator Rebeca Mauleón-Santana in 2006. She went on to study piano, composition and voice under a full scholarship at McNally Smith College of Music. In 2016 she lived in Cuba and continued her music studies with Alexis Bosch as well as afro-Cuban dance at the highly esteemed Instituto Superior de Arte. Yazmin has toured nationally, recorded three albums and appeared on countless other recordings as a pianist, vocalist, or accordionist. Since she was 5 years old she’s been a regular performer in concerts and theatrical productions at the Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua. She has opened for artists such as Nanci Griffith and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and been a guest on Michael Feldman’s Whad’Ya Know? radio program. The raw emotion of her songs is transmitted through her powerful stage presence, evocative lyrics, and full-hearted storytelling.
Yazmin teaches piano, composition, voice, and popular Latin dances. She composes music for television, film, and commercials, and owns and operates her personal music label and publishing company. In 2019, she founded Nautilus Exchange to lead dance-, art-, and music-focused tours of Cuba. In her art, Yazmin works primarily in acrylics, pastels, and charcoal.
