"facebook dialogPinterest\n\nZee was born on the island of Borneo, eventually relocating with her family to Kuala Lumpur when she was 12. Though she says her family encouraged her to stay on a traditional path and aspire towards a career in law, Zee was always drawn to the arts. When she was 17, she taught herself to play the guitar and eventually began writing her own songs and then went on to study fashion design in London for four years.\n\nWhen she was 21, she finally started recording her performances and posting them on YouTube, which gave her a viral following and led to her getting her first record deal at 22. Not bad! Check out her video for her single \"Bitter Heart\" below:\n\nI asked Zee to tell us a little about the video and here's what she said:\n\n\"The \"Bitter Heart\" video shoot was such a big change from the videos that I've recorded on You Tube in my bedroom and in my pajamas. This was a proper production with a stylist, makeup artist, Emmett Malloy as the video director, etc. On the shoot I wore Gregory Parkinson. Gregory's designs were amazing. They had a touch of ethnicity, which is great being the fact I am from Malaysia. I really enjoyed the experience. It felt very surreal.\"\n\nZee's self-titled album is out May 19th.
