JAZMIN Sisters (Headlining)
NADIA, FELICIA, CELIA AND DARIA ARE FOUR CHINESE-AMERICAN SISTERS FROM LOS ANGELES, CA THAT MAKE UP THE JAZMIN
SISTERS. THE NAME WAS INSPIRED BY THE SISTERS' JAZZ INFLUENCE AND THE ASIAN JASMINE FLOWER, WHICH SYMBOLIZES
HAPPINESS.
RAISED AS DAUGHTERS OF A PREACHER AND A PIANO TEACHER IN A STRICT HOUSEHOLD THAT ONLY ALLOWED MOTOWN, OLDIES
AND THE LIKE, SISTERS NADIA, FELICIA, CELIA AND DARIA BANDED TOGETHER FROM A YOUNG AGE TO SING AND DANCE. EACH SISTER
BRINGS SOMETHING UNIQUE TO THE GROUP, BUT THEIR VOICES BLEND EFFORTLESSLY INTO THE LUSH HARMONIES THEIR FANS HAVE
COME TO LOVE.
THE SISTERS GAINED NATIONWIDE EXPOSURE APPEARING ON MTV'S TOP POP GROUP AND BECAME FINALISTS ON THE PREMIERE
SEASON OF THE SERIES. IN ADDITION, THE GIRLS WERE CHOSEN BY NBC AS A FINALIST ON AMERICA'S GOT TALENT. THEY WERE ALSO ON NBC'S STAR TOMORROW MUSIC COMPETITION LED BY LEGENDARY MUSIC PRODUCER DAVID FOSTER.
CURRENTLY, THE SISTERS HAVE PARTNERED UP WITH GRAMMY AWARD WINNING PRODUCERS, MIDI MAFIA ON THEIR DEBUT EP 90'S
BABY, WHICH RE-INTERPRETS THE SISTERS' FAVORITE R&B JAMS AND HIP-HOP CLASSICS. POSITIONED TO BREAK NEW GROUND IN THE
WORLD OF POPULAR MUSIC, THE JAZMIN SISTERS ENTER THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY FOCUSED, DRIVEN AND READY.

In early 1989, Kermet did his first open mike night at the Comedy Underground in Seattle. Comedy was a fun hobby. In May of 1990, he quit his job, said good bye to health care and benefits, and took the leap to performing full time. It is still his only job skill.
He was the winner of the 2009 Great American Comedy Festival and has had numerous appearances on television and radio. He has showcased at comedy festivals in Aspen, Las Vegas, and Vancouver and has performed in 47 states and 3 Canadian provinces.

Kermet is married and the proud father of two wonderful children. He enjoys his family, baseball, and pie. He does not enjoy opera, sitting in traffic, and writing about himself in the third person.
Cary Tobaben~
A native Californian, Cary Tobaben got into the comedy scene in the mid 90's and has performed all over the country at various comedy clubs and corporate events. Cary has been seen on Comedy Central and appeals to a diverse audience with his numerous impressions and his personal take on what it was like always being the tallest kid in class.
