Yasmien Kurdi was born in Greenhills, San Juan, Metro Manila, Philippines, on January 25, 1988, of Filipino, Chinese and French-Lebanese extraction, to Miriam Ong-Yuson and Mike Kurdi. During her childhood, she had spent most of her life in the Middle East because her father worked there. After her parents separated, Yasmien and her mother returned to the Philippines.


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.

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.
