Zee Avi (born Izyan Alirahman,[1] also known as KokoKaina; b. 1986)[citation needed] is a Malaysian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and ukulele player. She was born in Miri, Sarawak, on the island of Borneo. She moved to Kuala Lumpur when she was 12.[2] She studied fashion design at American InterContinental University in London.[3]
Zee originally posted a video of her first song on YouTube because one of her friends had missed her first performance in Kuala Lumpur, so she created a video on YouTube for him to watch. He convinced Zee to leave the video up, and soon she received positive feedback, which inspired her to put more videos on YouTube.[3] After she was featured on YouTube, she was signed by Brushfire Records, which is partly owned by Jack Johnson.[2] Her song "No Christmas For Me" is featured on Brushfire Records's 2008 Christmas album This Warm December: A Brushfire Holiday.[4] Her single "Bitter Heart" was first to become available on the US iTunes store, and her full self-titled debut album was released on May 19, 2009. On the day of her album's release, YouTube featured her on the front page in Spotlight: Music Tuesday. She is currently (June - August 2009) touring the United States.
Her song "Monte" was featured in the second season finale of Private Practice.

這首歌曲摻雜英語和馬來語，稱為Manglish (Malay-English)，這個是馬來西亞和新加坡一帶的語言特色，比如新加坡的SIngish(新加坡似的英語，摻雜了英語、華語、馬來語、福建話) 。歌名是"Kantoi" 意思是做了事情被揭穿，就是“爆了”的意思，字幕是全英語翻譯。
ReplyDeleteHere's a direct translation of Zee Avi's "Kantoi" which is sung in typical Manglish (Malay-English mix). "Kantoi" is a Malay term used when one is caught committing an act or exposed for committing an act, similar to the term "Busted" used in English.
That's a good recommendation. Thanks! :)
