Take one glance at our mysterious cover girl and you might wonder: “What’s up with the visor?” Aside from her haunting vocals and futuristic styling, rising EDM singer-producer Jasmine Sokko is borderline anonymous. For one, you’ll never catch her without her signature visor – “the girl with the mask”, is what most people call her. We gotta admit, we couldn’t help but feel intimidated when we first got to know her. But as soon as she entered the room with her mask off, what we see is the elusive girl-nextdoor who simply enjoys reading and watching documentaries. “I’m actually a very boring person!” as the self-proclaimed “full-time nerd” nonchalantly puts it, but we certainly didn’t mind seeing this side of her.
Contrary to popular belief, her decision to stay hidden wasn’t a calculated one. “It all started with the music video for ‘1057’,” the songstress tells us, where she recalls donning a mask in order to tie in with the narrative. “I was supposed to take off the mask at the end, but we decided to cut out the last scene. We just did it for fun and ultimately, I realised that this whole mask identity is very close to me as a person because I’ve always been an introvert. I prefer being lowkey. If people get to experience me, I’d like the first touch point to be my music instead of my appearance.”
