Jasmine.4.t, the stage name of Manchester-based singer-songwriter Jasmine Cruickshank, crafts emotionally charged indie rock that explores the complexities of transfeminine life. She began her musical journey in Bristol’s punk scene, co-founding Breakfast Records and releasing her debut EP, Worn Through, in 2019. After opening for Lucy Dacus on tour, Jasmine connected with Phoebe Bridgers, leading to her becoming the first UK artist signed to Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records. Her debut album, You Are the Morning, released in January 2025, was co-produced by the members of boygenius—Bridgers, Dacus, and Julien Baker—and features contributions from the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles. ​

The album, written during a period of personal upheaval, including her transition and experiences with homelessness, delves into themes of queer friendship, resilience, and self-discovery. Tracks like “Skin On Skin” and “Elephant” showcase her raw vocals and blend of fingerpicked guitar with punk influences. Jasmine’s work not only resonates musically but also serves as a beacon for trans visibility and advocacy in the music industry.
