Reasons why I love being a songwriter:
Music truly is a universal language.
When I released 'Siboh Kitak Nangis' (meaning Don't You Cry) on my 2nd album 'Ghostbird', I was faced with many doubtful questions from Malaysians (I don't need to tell you which part Msia these Q's came from), who asked me things like, "Wahhh~ berani eh you letak lagu Sarawak dalam album you?" and "So is this a way to prove you're more Malaysian?" (Whut, bro?) I thought to myself, this was just a song I wrote about comforting yourself, or others, and telling them that every hardship shall pass, chin up, don't worry, I'll be by your side if you need me, come rain, thunder or lightning, I will be with you... BUT it just so happens to be in my native dialect of Bahasa Sarawak.
I remember hearing praises about it from my record label and particularly my producer Mario Caldato (Mario C) and how excited they were to be hearing this beautiful language, and their faith in the song made my heart melt.
When the song finally released, and hearing those things from my fellow countrymen shocked me to the core.
Of course, not everyone thought like that... Members of the media were very kind and I have been told that the song went on to inspire many more artistes and Sarawakian artistes to embrace our culture and language... Which to me, meant that that was my job as a songwriter done. 'Siboh Kitak Nangis' then went on to be become the first Bahasa Sarawak song on an international album, on rotation on NPR radio stations in the US and was also featured in Korean dramas, and also just like in this video, appreciated by people of different parts of the world who do not even remotely know what it means, just by the sentiments of the song that they're hearing.
This is Gina, New York born and raised to parents of Haiti Island. Singing in the Sarawakian language flawlessly.
My darlings, in music, there is no limit. No one makes the rules. It depends on what you want to achieve and express. Sing the language of your hearts, your souls, and mind not about "making it the market", truth is, someone, somewhere, needs to hear it, and feel like they are loved and not alone.❤️ On that note: OOHHHAAAAA🌺!

10 years ago, I started my musical journey and ever since then, I'm still a girl in disbelief that her songs would even see outside of her diary (and @youtube!) and make it to some of the biggest stages in America, meeting the some really amazing people, learning new things about myself and the world, and even got to play one of first coolest and most watched online music platform of all time. 💜
This is was my performance of Honey Bee. Check out that young Zee and her mane... Whom you can tell was still getting used to sharing her stories and songs. And was also like, "Wow~ great idea to perform in a cool office like this!
"Hey Bob (Boilen)! I love these Beatles bobbleheads!" I said right before I got on.
I'm still so grateful to have been a part of the beginning of such an iconic online stage it is now and to have had (and still) the support of a family like @npr @tinydesk 💜
I don't care much for "firsts" but if I may call it for this one. =) I hope to see more Malaysians grace this stage right here. ✨

BEHOLD! 2/3 of my Gold Plaques for my debut album back in 2009!
Social media wasn't really around for me (or rather I wasn't really around on social media) to flex and by that time, I had already given these to my dad to put in his office since I haven't given him a straight A report card for years. 😆 I've caught the reminiscent bug and so I would just like to take this opportunity to thank each and every single one of you who has bought, downloaded, shared my music to the ones you know and love.
I would like to thank all media and publications who have supported me through the years, especially in the beginning, (looking at you, Rolling Stone, CNN, NPR Music, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, Paste Magazine)
But of course, to my once family Brushfire Records and Monotone Management, who believed enough to invest their time and energy in a girl from a small town called Miri in Sarawak, Malaysian-Borneo.
To my actual family, without your blessings and support, I would've never been able to have this journey.
To old and new friends, thank you for accepting me for all I have and lack, and for all of your patience and understanding.
My only hope for the next decade is to keep creating music for all of us, whether I'd be singing them or not. I shall keep bettering myself so I can continue to make music that matches with my growth, so I can keep on sharing my experience, knowledge and wisdom with you.
I love you all, dearly. Thank you for making this the best decade I could ever have hoped for.
I wish you all the best of love and life.
To more adventures up ahead!
Happy holidays and have an amazing New Decade!
Many blessings,
Zee

韓裔美國 K-pop 巨星兼時尚品牌創辦人 — 潔西卡‧鄭 Jessica Jung 為《Vogue X》的第二集《Listen Up》回想了她目前播放清單上重複播放的藝術家。這位《Shine》作者談論了她對節奏藍調 R&B 的感覺還有《Get You》歌手丹尼爾·凱撒Daniel Caesar,她比較了他們的音樂歷程以及他們對韓國和大人小孩雙拍檔 Boyz II Men 的愛之間所產生的連結。從她 11 歲時被星探發掘,到 18 歲時發行她的首張專輯,潔西卡 Jessica 帶著我們了解她的創作教育以及她如何適應在新的國家生活。
這位創作歌手回想起 Dvsn(又名 Daniel Daley and Nineteen85),談論這對雙人組對音樂的影響,像是史提夫·汪達 Stevie Wonder;他們龐大的韓國粉絲群(包含防彈少年團 BTS);以及如何維持長久的職涯;最後但並非最不重要的一點是,她和 Raveena 對談並為我們帶來了一場她的歌曲《Petal》即興演出,而後討論了音樂的治癒能力並暗示著即將推出令人興奮的計畫。
