4:05 PM

Zee Avi - Bitterheart from naz on Vimeo.


The cover that stole my heart, and made me a fan.


Izyan Allrahman goes by the name Zee Avi, and obtained her first record deal by broadcasting herself on You Tube. She was born in the small town of Miri, on the island of Borneo, Malaysia. As a child she was encouraged to be a lawyer, but her passion was music.

Avi studied fashion in London for four years, but then after she graduated she picked up the guitar and starting performing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She recorded herself playing the guitar and placed the videos on You Tube. Kris Rowley, a U.K. singer-songwriter, found them and started to place them in his channel. Before she knew it, Zee was on a plane to L.A. to record her debut with producer Robert Carranza.
