Jazmine's original material is in both English and Spanish. Her songs range from slow sensual ballads to dance music. Currently Jazmine has co- written and co-produced all of her music.
She began her tour around European discos and clubs with immediate success. Jazmine's performances have included hundreds of Nightclubs, several European Summer Festivals, radio and TV appearances. She has also performed many times in different Cruise Lines in Europe. The last one was Jazmine's Christmas Show, on M/S Silja Festival between Finland and Sweden.
While signed to K-TEL (Finland) for one album, Jazmine’s first single achieved international success. In January 1996, "Love Like Never Before" rose to the # 1 position in the Top Dance- chart of France for two weeks, dropping Madonna to # 2 and passing for example same week entries from Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi and Whitney Houston. It remained on the chart for 21 weeks, from which 14 weeks were in the Top 10. Jazmine’s second single “Woman In Love” was released in several European countries.
European success has inspired Jazmine to introduce herself to the USA. She made her debut to the Latin-American community by participating in the TV show, “Sueños De Fama”. She sung in eight episodes in the show, which aired on Telemundo worldwide starting late 1998.
Jazmine appeared on the WB network TV-show “PopStars” in January 2001.

She subsequently performed in several corporate events.

(Oh, we gonna take 'em to the club like this)
Packin' up my shh and I'm going real far
Going off to hollywood to be a big star
There's nothing here for me so I gotta move fast
And I'm getting on the road and won't never look back (hey)
Yes I feel that I gotta
I gotta move fast 'cause when it happen I can't let it go past
Only get one chance
Can't spend another second sitting on my mama's couch
So if I don't take a chance I won't ever get out
Some people talk but never do they just running they mouth
But I mean just what I say and I'ma show them what I'm about, yeah
I gotta dream big (dream big) 'cause when it happen it's gon' happen real quick
Yes I feel that I gotta
I gotta move fast 'cause when it happen I can't let it go past
Only get one chance
When it feel like you been waiting all your life for the second
You'll be a fool to just let it past so go and get it
No matter near or far, to the moon, the stars
I'll do whatever I need to follow my dream
I gotta dream big (dream big) 'cause when it happen it's gon' happen real quick
Yes I feel that I gotta
I gotta move fast 'cause when it happen I can't let it go past
Only get one chance, I gotta
I gotta dream big (dream big) 'cause when it happen it's gon' happen real quick
Yes I feel that I gotta
I gotta move fast 'cause when it happen I can't let it go past
Ooh, ooh
"Dream Big" by Jazmine Sullivan is an inspirational personal anthem that urges the listener to take a chance on their dreams, to move quickly toward their goals, and to not let opportunities pass them by. The song speaks to anyone who feels like they are stuck in a rut, unsure of what to do to achieve their dreams.
Jazmine's song begins with her packing her belongings and ready to leave her hometown of Philadelphia for the bright lights and big dreams of Hollywood. Her lyrics convey the sense of urgency that many people can relate to when they know they need to make a change in their lives. She knows that if she doesn't take this chance, she will miss out on her one opportunity to succeed.
The chorus of "Dream Big" is uplifting and motivational, with Jazmine singing "I gotta dream big 'cause when it happens it's gon' happen real quick. Yes, I feel that I gotta move fast 'cause when it happens, I can't let it go past. Only get one chance." Her words remind us that time is precious and that we cannot afford to squander our dreams. We must seize the opportunities that come our way and make the most of them.
