Kurdi’s name should had been spelled “Yasmine” but her mother mistakenly wrote it as “Yasmien” after her delivery in the hospital and it was reflected in her birth certificate.

She studied at New Era University and was reported to be at the top 10 of her class. She is a member of the Iglesia ni Cristo and a known vegetarian.

Kurdi started to join singing competitions at the age of three. At the age of seven in Kuwait, she had performed monologue acting and got to play the role of Maria Clara in a zarzuela adaptation of Noli Me Tangere that was hosted by the Kuwaiti-Filipino community in celebration of Philippine Independence Day.

She did modeling before applying to GMA Network’s StarStruck in 2003, and made it to second place on the female category. After a stint in StarStruck, she appeared in Click and SOP Gigsters, and appeared in various movies including So… Happy Together, Aishite Imasu (Mahal kita) 1941, Lovestruck, and Happily Ever After.

In 2005, she released her debut album entitled In The Name of Love through GMA Records and her carrier single “I Know” (used as a soundtrack of Korean teledrama “Sweet 18”) won the Viewer’s Choice For Song of the Year in the 2005 SOP Music Awards. Although, Cueshé and Hale fans complained about the result of the award, stating that “The Day You Said Goodnight” of Hale and “Stay” of Cueshé were far more popular than Yasmien’s song.

Also in 2005, one of her biggest projects is playing the role of Mira in Encantadia.

In September 11, 2006 Bakekang started to air, where Yasmien plays the role of Bakekangs ugly Daughter, Charming.
