Jazmine was born and raised within Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her mother Pam is a former back-up singer with Philadelphia International Records. When she was 5 years of age, her dad landed a position as a curator at Philadelphia's Historic Strawberry Mansion in the Strawberry Mansion section, and her family relocated to the mansion's historical site. In 2005, a Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts student, she is a major in the area of vocal. Sullivan started singing in children's choir as a contralto after which she was a part of the adult choir a few years after that. Sullivan experienced only a small amount of secular music. The singer recalls she was just 11 years old when a person requested her to sing in a solo at the church. She wasn't quite ready to go. After that, McDonald's held a contest with children from large cities. I was able to perform "Accept What God Allows" at it's Showtime At the Apollo. And the audience was very supportive. The singer performed along with Stevie Wonder at his grandson's birthday party at thirteen. Sullivan was initially signed to Jive Records at the age fifteen. She recorded an entire album. But the album was never released. Sullivan was then dropped by the label. She had a good working relationship along with Missy Elliott. Elliott produced several of her songs such as "Backstabbers", which was produced by Timbaland.
