It has been rumored for awhile that Nick Jonas and Jasmine Villegas (more commonly known as Jasmine V.) were planning to do a duet together.  Now Jasmine has verified that rumor!  As Jasmine recently told Latina magazine, “A couple of weeks ago I was in the studio with him. We’re writing a song together. He was by his piano and we started brainstorming. The song is basically about going through a relationship and knowing that it takes a man to love me, as I’m growing into a young lady.” 

Sounds like a great theme for a song!  Jasmine has been lucky enough to work with many of today’s hottest young stars.  Besides the duet with Nick, Jasmine was also in Justin Bieber’s music video “Baby” (she played Bieber’s love interest).  Even more exciting, Jasmine had the privilege of being an opening act for some of Justin’s concerts last year. 

Jasmine has also worked with Kanye West, Frankie J, Sean Kingston, Damon Wayans, Hillary Duff and Raven Symone over the last few years.  Mostly she has made guest appearances on tv shows and music videos, but now it looks like her career as a pop singer is really starting to take off. 

So what do you think of the collaboration?  Do you think Jasmine and Nick will make a good team?  I asked several local teenagers here in Dayton, Ohio what they thought about the duet, but most of them had never heard of Jasmine V.  Hopefully as Jasmine’s career continues to grow, her name will become more familiar to her target audience.
