This viral star has proved that raw talent will always get attention. And her move to her new home, MCA Music, is another amazing beginning in Zendee’s career.
“Syempre nakaka-proud (to be part of MCA Music)… Ang daming international and local artist na kilala under that label at isa ako dun,”
Blessings still continue to pour in for the 24-year old, being the world-famous “Random Girl” belting Whitney Houston’s biggest hit. From General Santos City, she flew to Manila and tried her luck at landing a singing career. She used to sing on videoke in malls, a video landed in the hands of Ellen DeGeneres. The rest is history. Zendee’s dreams almost instantly came true – album, tours, guest appearances, interviews and appearances – she got it all. And her new album under MCA Music, Z, is another answered prayer.
Zendee is more than ready for the new album and she’s going to rock hard for the first single, “Run Wild”. “Naramdaman ko yung pag-mature ng boses ko (on this track),” Aside from this strong track, she will show her versatility with her “contest piece” “When Love Calls Your Name”, the 90’s RnB-influenced “Chances”, and hugot songs (her favorite cuts in the album) like “Lie” and “I Wasn’t Ready For This.”
Her Jessie J sounding single “Watch This!” is what best describes her trending status right now as her duet with the “Flashlight” hit maker has reached more than five million views. Thanks to friend, KZ Tandingan, their little chat about the app became a viral success. “Actually, hindi ko talaga in-expect na mag-va-viral yun. Nakapambahay nga lang ako at nag-lipstick! Haha! Na-shock na lang talaga ako at di ko in-expect na ganun ang magiging feedback ng mga tao.” The experience of being a viral star once again has made Zendee nostalgic about her appearance on Ellen. “Para sa akin, yun ang pinakamalaking break na nangyari sa buhay ko. After ng Ellen, sunod-sunod na yung mga guestings ko,” Just ecstatic to have shared the same fate with her idol, Charice, she also hopes that her new release gets the same love as her videos online, “Siguro lahat ng may kopya magugustuhan din nila yung mga songs ko at maraming makaka-relate.”
“Random Girl” is random girl no more. Zendee is now known by her name and by her talent. She has inspired millions of aspiring singers to go for their dreams and sing their hearts out, whatever the opportunity. All she is now is just grateful. “Sa mga walang sawang sumusuporta sakin since Random Girl days ko pa, hanggang sa naging recording artist na ako, maraming salamat talaga. Hindi po ako magsasawa na mag-try at mag-upload ng maraming videos pa para sa inyo. I’ll make you proud,”
Indeed she has. The entire country knows it. The world has already seen what she can do. It’s just a matter of anticipating what she’ll do next. And it’ll be awesome.
Zendee’s Z is now available for digital downloads via Spinnr and iTunes and on CDs at Astroplus and Astrovision outlets. It can also be streamed via Spinnr, Apple Music, VEVO, Spotify, Deezer, Guvera and Rdio.
