Jasmyn Burke fronted Toronto's Weaves — Polaris and JUNO nominations, Glastonbury, tours with Mitski and Sunflower Bean. In 2020 she quit mid-lockdown, chasing a solo deal that took her to LA to record with Grammy-nominated producer John Congleton. A year later, she was dropped.
She went back to school for a postgrad diploma, then found out she was pregnant a month after finishing. Motherhood brought a clarity the industry hadn't: no label waiting, no band touring — just the pull to make something with no inhibitions.
Her catalog kept finding new life through syncs on Apple TV+'s Margo's Got Money Troubles, Riot Women, and Sportsnet. Now she's building a new record about taking a chance on herself after everything falls apart. "Anything You Want," co-produced remotely with UK video-game composer Luciano Rossi (Life is Strange, Dead Island 2), is where it starts.
