Sara Manakhimova, whom everyone now knows as the singer Jasmine, grew up in Derbent in an intelligent and very musical family. Her father, Lev Yakovlevich, is a choreographer, mother, Margarita Semyonovna, is a conductor.
Grandmother Sarah had a huge influence on the girl. She often took her granddaughter on holidays, where, according to mountain customs, all relatives and neighbors are invited. Dressed in an elegant white dress, the baby bravely stood up on a chair, began to sing and drew thunderous applause.
In her senior class, Sarah decided to become a linguist, dreamed of entering the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages. But the parents were worried about how their little girl would go to the capital alone. As a result, Sarah, heeding her mother's advice, entered medical college.

The KVN team of doctors summoned the students of the music school to the competition. Sarah performed with such brilliance that she managed to cover everyone, and even her rivals applauded her.
The girl began to dream of a professional scene. But then my beloved mother fell ill, and after three months she was gone.
Then Sarah got married and gave birth to her beloved son Misha. One day, fate gave Jasmine a surprise. “In Paris, together with a friend, we went to the boutique of the famous French fashion designer Jean-Claude Jitroix. I tried on leather trousers and a vest, turned around in front of the mirrors and did not even notice how the couturier himself appeared in the hall. He drew attention to how perfectly his things fit on my figure, and offered to make a photo session. At first I did not even understand what this important monsieur was talking about, because I did not know French. When we switched to English, I just laughed, taking his offer for a nice compliment. After all, such stories only happen in fairy tales! "
Then Jasmine had to believe that this was not a compliment, but a business proposal. Zhitroix made her the face of his brand in Russia. After that, she began to receive other interesting proposals. But Jasmine decided not to associate her life with the advertising business. By that time, she already knew exactly what she wanted to do.

Jasmine's first teacher was Natalya Zinovievna Andrianova, a teacher at the Gnessin School. "Self-confidence appeared only when the strict Natalya Zinovievna said that it was time for me to study vocals professionally."
With the light hand of Vladimir Matetsky, Sarah received a new and memorable name - Jasmine. In 1999, the aspiring singer presented her first composition "It Happens" to the audience. And a year later her song "Long Days" blew up all the broadcasts and immediately received all the most prestigious musical awards of the country: "Golden Gramophone", "Song of the Year", "Ovation" and "Stopudovy Hit" awards. In 2005, Jasmine was awarded the MTV Russia Music Awards, winning the Best Female Artist category.

When they were looking for the leading female performer Zeynab for the television musical “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”, there was no doubt: no one would play Ali Baba's beloved wife better than the oriental beauty Jasmine. So the pop star also became an actress. After that there was also the musical "Beauty requires ...".

Jasmine's popularity has also received official recognition. In 2009 she was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Republic of Dagestan.
