With Regis & Kelly.” It wasn’t until she got involved on the worship team at her sister’s church in Starkville, Miss., that she realized Christian music was her passion. ON THE RISE Jasmine’s debut radio single, “Fearless,” rocketed up the charts, revealing her real-life struggle with intense anxiety.
