Bio
Tze (“Zee”), hailing from the foodie island of Penang, Malaysia, is a singer-storyteller with a love of fantasy and the realm of the heart. Her dynamic soprano voice, which can soar to crystalline heights and resonate richly down low, is hailed as warm, pure, soothing and ethereal. A creative songwriter and session singer, her music blends the genres of classical, opera, musical theatre, jazz, folk, pop and cinematic soundscape to create narratives that are poignant and relatable. She is a frequent performer of film and video game soundtrack, an improviser, a harmony whiz, and a diverse artist who sings in multiple languages: Mandarin, Japanese, Italian, German, French, Latin, Malay and even made-up languages.
Tze is currently a classical Voice major at the Vancouver Academy of Music, studying with Frédérik Robert and Robyn Driedger-Klassen. She also holds a BFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia, with electives in songwriting and composition. Music and words are closely intertwined in her career — she freelanced as a Senior Writer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, writing script and programming music for the classical radio shows Backstage with Ben Heppner and In Concert Revival Hour. She was also a librettist for the 2018 Vancouver Opera New Works Project, where she had two original one-act operas premiered.
As the whimsical siren next door, she sings songs and writes stories to heal, uplift and transport her audience to different worlds.
Testimonials
"I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Tze. She delivered well above expectations in a very timely, professional and friendly manner. She made what seemed impossible possible and recorded all the parts for a full choir in less than 48 hours. Not only was she precise down to every note, but her voice also had such thoughtfulness in it, careful decisions were made to emphasize words in a way that supported the meaning in the lyrics. Her voice is simply angelic. I can’t wait to work with Tze again on future projects."

"We featured Tze in an emotional orchestral piece for an animation, and the following commentary is from my client: "I just had an uncontrollable euphoria with tears nearly falling down my face. I had already pictured the results yesterday but actually having the real deal before me left me with my jaw to the ground. That was utterly amazing, honestly, the singer did an amazing job, her performance was breathtaking." I 100% second my client's thoughts on Tze's musical talent. She is so versatile, and her voice can be delicate or powerful, which is a rare mix to have!"
