Born in Russia and spending her early childhood in Algeria, Yasmine Meddour moved to Paris when she was eight. At this time she started to sing in a local choir and began to write her own music, using a second-hand piano provided by her mother. At the time she was studying music in high school, the film director Xavier Gens offered her to compose and sing the original song of his feature film « The Divide ». Passionate about the relation between music and moving Images, Yasmine decides to work as a film composer. She composed an original song for the movie « Papicha » directed by Mounia Meddour, in competition at the Festival de Cannes, which won two awards at the Cesar ceremony in 2020. The same year, she participated as a composer at the International Music and film Festival of Aubagne Masterclass. In 2022, Yasmine Meddour co-composed with Maxence Dussère the original score of the feature film « Houria », directed by Mounia Meddour. Yasmine is currently working on her first EP project, exploring sounds and memories from her childhood in Kabylie, Algeria.
