Creativity from an early age surrounded little Sarah. However, in her youth, she did not even dream of connecting her life with the stage. Sarah was given the study of foreign languages, so after graduating from school she dreamed of entering the institute at the Faculty of Philology.
Sarah's plans were disrupted when it turned out that there was no institute with a philological faculty in her native Derbent.
Parents were against Sarah leaving her hometown. As a result, the girl graduated with honors from a medical college, which her mother insisted on.

At the beginning of Sarah's creative career, she was taught by a teacher with a capital letter Natalya Andrianova. Jasmine studied singing at Gnesinka.
For a long time, the girl did not perceive music and singing as something serious. For the girl, it was just a hobby. After three years of classes, Jasmine realized that she had reached a completely new vocal level.
In the late 90s, Jasmine presented her debut video "It happens." Then, in fact, Sarah took the stage name Jasmine.
In the same period of time, the first album of the performer "Long Days" was released. The record was sold out with a circulation of 90 thousand copies.
Then, in an interview, Jasmine admitted that she never dreamed that her songs would arouse interest among music lovers. But the Russian singer still had no idea that this was only the beginning of her popularity.
In 1999, Sarah had the opportunity to try herself as a model. The oriental appearance of the girl was so liked by the French couturier Jean-Claude Zhitrua that he invited Sarah to become the face of his brand.
Actually, this is how Jasmine became the face of the Zhitrois brand in Russia. But soon Sarah realized that the modeling business was not for her.
In 2001, the singer presented her second studio album - the record "Rewriting Love". The circulation of the album several times exceeded the circulation of the debut disc. In total, 270 thousand copies were sold.
The next disk "Puzzle" totaled 310 thousand copies. Jasmine, who did not expect such a success, was pleasantly surprised by this turn of events.
In addition, two large venues in Russia immediately opened before the singer - the performer appeared with solo concerts on the stage of the famous Rossiya Hall, in the State Kremlin Palace, the organizer of one of her performances was the prima donna of the Russian stage Alla Pugacheva.

The personal life of the singer Jasmine
Sarah does not hide the details of her personal life from fans and journalists.
Since the singer's registration on Instagram, the singer has been posting photos from work and leisure. In the photographs, you can often see the daughter of a Russian singer.
Jasmine has been married twice. The first husband of the singer was Vyacheslav Semenduev. He fell in love with Jasmine in absentia.
Once Vyacheslav was watching a videotape from his brother's wedding. On the video, he saw the beautiful Sarah and fell in love with her.
Vyacheslav Semenduev became a real support for Jasmine. It was this man who "pumped" the girl as a singer. In 1997, the couple had a son, who was named Mikhail.
After 10 years of a happy family life, photos of a severely beaten Jasmine got into the network. Later it turned out that the woman was beaten by her husband.
Mikhail insisted that Jasmine sign papers with unknown content. When the woman refused, physical strength was used.
The outcome of this scandal was that Jasmine divorced her husband. In addition, she went through a difficult path for her right to raise her son.
This situation inspired the performer to write the autobiographical book "Hostage". In the book, Jasmine described the terrible nuances of family life.
The next lover of the singer was the famous businessman Ilan Shor. Ilan and Jasmine met at a charity concert, where the singer, in fact, performed.
After a long courtship, Shor made a marriage proposal to his beloved. In 2011, the couple legalized their relationship. A little time passed and a beautiful daughter was born in this family, who was named Margarita.
Interestingly, many said that Jasmine was next to Shor solely because of the money. He is 9 years younger than the artist. Despite the speculation of ill-wishers, the family was happy.
Ilan Shor started doing business in his teenage years. For the period of 2011, he was considered one of the largest businessmen in Russia.
In addition, Ilan holds the position of director of Dufremol, president of the association Prosperarea Moldovei and the International Moldovan-Israeli Center for Economic Relations and Education.
In 2015, Jasmine's husband was detained. Ilan was accused of major fraud. A case was opened against the man on the fact of fraud and theft of $ 1 billion. At the end of the year, there was a lull in the proceedings.
The life of the artist began to improve in 2016. Then many noticed changes in Jasmine's figure. It turned out that the singer is pregnant. She gave birth to a boy whom she named Miron.

Sarah's family again spent 2018 in court. Litigation in the case of Ilan continued, but this did not affect Jasmine's career in any way.
In 2018, Jasmine won the prestigious Topical Style Awards twice in the Refined Style nomination. In addition, the performer received an award in the Breakthrough of the Year nomination.
The family union of Sarah and Ilan was awarded the "BEST Couple of the Year" award in the "Happy Together" category.
