Yasmine Kittles is an American musician, actress, and performance artist. She is a member of the bands Tearist, Former Ghosts, and Low Red Center. 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." She also writes for VICE Magazine as a guest columnist.
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.
