Musical career
A Skylit Drive (2008–2016)
Jagmin joined A Skylit Drive to replace original vocalist, Jordan Blake, who left for health concerns in 2007.

In early 2017, it was announced that Jagmin quit ASD, which turned out later to be false from Jagmin himself. It was later announced from Jagmin that the band was in hiatus due to conflict between founder and guitarist, Nick Miller, and him.
