Yasmine Kittles

Yasmine Kittles is an American musician, actress, and performance artist.[1][2] She is a member of the bands Tearist, Former Ghosts, and Low Red Center.[3][4][5] About her stage performances, Rolling Stone has written, "Aided by her hair-raising yelp – a voice ranging from an operatic shriek to a post-Lydia Lunch growl – Kittles is thunder onstage, her assault uniquely confrontational and her crowd's response visceral."[6] She also writes for VICE Magazine as a guest columnist.[7][8][9]

Early life

Kittles was born in Frankfurt, Germany. As a child she moved from Germany to Tehran, Iran to residing in Dallas, Texas where she began figure skating. Kittles was a competitive figure skater with the ISI and USFSA for twelve years.[10] She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Dance with a concentration in Meisner technique and a minor in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin.[11]
