Without a doubt, the fact of being the only child of two artists, the actors Osvaldo Laport and Viviana Saezcontributed to Jasmine Laport He would also lean towards that noble profession. At a very young age she began to train in different artistic disciplines, but far from being a family mandate, her vocation was consolidated very consciously.
Currently she is one of the protagonists of the work “Sicily limes”theatrical version of the story of the same name by Luigi Pirandello, adapted by playwright Patricia Suárez. It tells the story of a young Sicilian woman who seeks to become a lyrical singer and has the support of her lover Micuccio. Under the direction of his father, he performs alongside Noemi Morelli, Federico Dopico and Daniel Toppino, at the Border theater.
However, in addition to venturing into acting and, by necessity, modeling, her true passion lies in music. “I make a fusion of rhythms and genres and that is one of the advantages of an artist who still does not have a label behind him that tells him what to do. I want to find my way,” he confesses to NOTICIAS. In recent years he released some songs such as “Horas”, “Muñeca”, “Unclásico” and “Loca”. Currently, he is preparing to release his album titled “Pronoia”.
News: What does that word mean?
Jasmine Laport: Thanks for starting with this aspect of music of mine. I discovered it more or less two years ago and I didn’t have the foggiest idea of its meaning. It is the opposite of paranoia. That is, the belief that the world or people, in general, conspire in one’s favor.
News: Socially speaking, paranoia is very natural to us.
Laport: Exact! We all know what it is, but not the pronoia. So to live from a concept of pronoia is to genuinely believe the opposite.
News: It sounds extraordinary, how is it achieved?
Laport: We always have those clicks where you need to hug something. I discovered that meaning and I said to myself, ‘I want to do my part in being able to spread this concept, and also adopt it as a lifestyle.’ Reset my mind and avoid moving to that side of the sidewalk where everything negative is seen. For example, even though my intention was for the album to come out in 2023, it didn’t happen. Not this year either. But precisely in the moments where I wanted to get angry about it, I thought, ‘no, I’m not being consistent with the concept I want to spread.’ So, I said, ‘everything happens for a reason.’ And it helped me do some shows, give them names and, little by little, start spreading my music.
News: How do you go about adopting that philosophy of life in this country and in this world of the 21st century?
Laport: I have been doing therapy for many years. I am completely passionate about it. Psychoanalysis, holistic therapy, biodecoding, family constellations. There are many branches of alternative therapies that I find wonderful. I don’t take anything for granted. I can apply that concept to my existence, because I am very aware of the beautiful and privileged life I have. Aside from the privilege over the tangible, there is also a mental issue. Materially speaking, a person can have all the wealth on the planet, but if they feel the most lacking in the world, they will never be happy with themselves.
News: He is very young, this lucidity is striking.
Laport: Obviously I wasn’t like that all my life. I had my times as a teenager where I bit the shoulder because I believed I was God. But now at 29 years old, I have this part quite resolved. Little by little I began to see how I can apply this concept within my reality and also within my privileges. Understanding that there are a lot of things that I want to accomplish, what can I be grateful for daily that doesn’t have to do with grandiloquent things? I acquired the habit of waking up and being grateful for having woken up, for the mates I was about to drink, and for having spent the night in a warm bed. That allowed me, over time, to start the day with great joy.
News: Speaking of the obvious and privilege, many people believe that because they are the daughter of two famous people like their parents, it is easier to access castings, reach producers or directors.
Laport: No! Not at all. I was also able to resolve with therapy the fact that before I was very dramatic about everything. It was very Marimar, very Telemundo (laughs). And I had my period of discontent, as I mentioned before, in my mid-adolescent stage, when you are building your personality. Because they made those comments to me like ‘but you, how can it be that your parents haven’t accommodated you or don’t have enough power, with what they are, to pick up the phone?’ and I don’t know what. So, when you are a child, and the adults have the say, and they are telling me this question, what happens? My parents don’t love me? Don’t you want me to do well? I was very angry, I had bought into the movie that they were irresponsible adults. I didn’t communicate it to them either, it was like a kind of resentment, of being super angry with the world.
News: I imagine that, in addition, feelings are heightened by the fact of being an only child, right?
Laport: Clear! So, there was a moment where I said, this is not right. Everything generated more burden and more resentment in me. And for me art, in my life, is a fundamental company. Offer a service also as an artist, be like a medium channel if you are there open and willing. Get to offer this leisure or entertainment, what I have to offer you. When I started to see it from that side I was able to exploit everything I felt I had to give not only as an actress, but as a singer.
News: In the first years of any career, of any figure in the world of entertainment, there are those jobs that have nothing to do with the artistic, but help sustain the vocation. In your case, was that also the case?
Laport: I have had my pastry shop, “Boutique de antojitos”, with a registered trademark for ten years. At the time I made cakes in the oven at my parents’ house. In recent months I haven’t been doing it much because I didn’t have the time in the day, but when I filmed my first music videos I paid for them by selling sweet bread for Christmas and New Year. I had created an Excel with the budget for everything that the filming included and I saw how many sweet breads I had to sell. I cooked all night, rested a little, loaded them into the car and went to distribute them.
News: It was like a living SME.
Laport: Yeah! (laughs), yes, obviously, I love it, I’m a restless ass. Yes I put it in, I put it in. And then also in the part more about the model, which is not what I like most in life, but when it happens or there is some publicity, that also saves you a lot of money.
