About Me:
 
*inhale... exhale*

Wow, again i say, YouTube's frontpage feature was quite an unexpected one, but i have to say, THANK YOU YouTube for this has brought me more kind and encouraging words from lovely viewers everywhere.

It is all still very heart-warming and touching to read everyone's sincere comments and messages (i'm still reading them, everyone.), and they are all i look forward to every morning. So, really, everyone has played an important role.

THANK YOU, again.

Along with comments, i also get loads of questions. So, here are some FAQ's. I hope i don't miss any out.
=)

1) Are you a lefty?
-No, i am not. (oh no, i could feel the disappointment already. *laughs nervously*) I have mentioned it before, in my 'I'm Finally Here' video that i've bought a new webcam and the settings are locked to the Mirror Flip. And i couldn't change it for some reason. Although, i am aware that some of you already know this, so that's a relief. =)

2) Where are you from?
-Please refer to city and country. =)

3) Why are you not signed yet?
- I am now! =)

4) (this may be the ultimate question) Why do you hide your face?
- Because i don't have one. Haha. Well, it's because i would like viewers to focus more on the songs and not have the attention shifted elsewhere (not that there is anything much anyways. heh.) This also practices both your and my skills to spot emotions that a song is trying to evoke. So, i'm not really hiding. I just... choose not to show my face. I'm not here to look pretty, i'm just here to share my music. =)

5) Are you hired by some big time company to post videos online? Because it all looks too "professionally unprofessional".
-Haha, well, thank you. You know, i wish i was. Because that would mean i'm getting paid for this. So, no. I'm not. I dont do no lonelygirl15. =)

6) Are you lip-synching?
- I wish i knew how to work the audio programs enough to lip-sync. I just... press record and sing. *shrugs*
=)

7) Who are your influences? Who do you listen to?
- Well, it's a pretty long list, but most of the artists that viewers have mentioned so far are pretty spot on.
=)

I 'think' that's most of it.
Well, if there's more, i'm sure i'll update soon.

I strum minimal melodies to accompany any sudden trigger of inspiration.

Hi Zee,
I stumbled across your song Honey Bee one day and absolutely fell in love with it. I then listened to your other music and fell in love with that too. You are so amazing and you have truly inspired me to write music of my own :)
When you get a chance, please check out my youtube channel. I'm a new singer/ songwriter and I have just recently taught myself how to play guitar. Thank you :)
