Jake Hyytia, Manager

Jake Hyytia met Jazmine on December 31,1992 in a crowded Orlando restaurant, where she was working. He was a flight instructor at the International Airline Crew Training. The two quickly became friends and dated for a brief period. One day, while driving on the highway, Jake heard a beautiful voice. At first, he wasn't sure if it was Whitney Houston that was playing on the radio or coming from the car seat next to him. So, he turned down the radio and sure enough, it was coming from Jazmine. He quickly pulled over to the side of the road and said "We need to talk". Jazmine began to tell him of her failed efforts at becoming a singer. She had never had the support nor representation she needed. Jake thought to himself, "Let's see if others hear what I hear". So, he began to take her from Karaoke bar to another to observe the reaction of others to Jazmine's talent. He was right! This girl was born to be a star. From then on, Jake did everything he could to encourage Jazmine to achieve her goal. 

After a slump in the aviation industry, Jake chose to return to his native country, Finland. He suggested to Jazmine that she should go along to get some practice with a different type of audience. Jazmine took his suggestion and followed him to Finland.

In 1994, Jake founded Panther Enterprises and officially became Jazmine's manager. Through lots of hard work and determination, Jake, a former Finnish Air Force Lieutenant and Commercial Pilot, became a force to be reckoned with in the Music Industry. His belief in his Artist's talent and gift has given him the tools he needed to teach himself everything he needed to know about the business. In a matter of five years he has got Jazmine signed to her first recording contract, booked Jazmine in hundreds of Nightclubs, different Cruise Lines, several European Summer Festivals, radio and TV appearances and co-produced her debut album, "Nightfall".

This Dynamic Team has just begun. According to Jake, "Jazmine has warmed up enough. Now she's ready for the WORLD!!". With a manager like Jake, Jazmine and any other artists he decides to represent have no choice but to succeed.
