Meet the bitch from Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysian electro-pop artist ZE! redefines glam with the release of her new album I Am Glam. This loud and brash disco rebel is hugely influenced by Madonna and her style has drawn comparisons to Lady Gaga, The Ting Tings, M.I.A. and Santigold.
ZE! has opened for Chicks on Speed, AC Slater, Drop the Lime, The Vengaboys, Don Rimini, Mickey Moonlight, Inquisitive & Afrikan Boy – and is now touring with Joachim Garraud begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting on his new ‘Invasion’ live show sharing the stage with the likes of Steve Aoki, Crookers, Laidback Luke, Eric Prydz, Roger Sanchez, Underworld, Lovefoxxx, Crystal Castles and more.
From the day she began gigging back in ‘99, ZE! has always been known for her passion for fashion; she used to run a boutique with her sister (OSIXNINE) and has modeled for designers Charles of London, Criminal Damage, Lonely 8-bit Heroes and headlined fashion events by Reebok, adidas, Tony Hawk and Vice Magazine. ZE! styles herself and designs her own outfits, making every one of her shows a little catwalk of her own.
“I Am Glam” the single has gone to #1 on Hitz.fm’s Malaysian Top 10 chart, has been heard on shows like MTV Styl’d, The City and the music video is now on MTV Asia. ZE is now working on new single releases/remixes from the album and an upcoming US tour this 2011.
Watch out for more from this disco queen!
